Subject: Issues with SimpleXML for development
From: rowanjl@gmail.com (Rowan Lewis)

First off, forgive me if I'm using the wrong list.

Anyhow, I've been developing a program that uses XML to store cache
files, and I've noticed a highly painfully issue with the SimpleXML
extension:

It converts <textarea></textarea> (and many other like valid XML and
HTML elements) to <textarea /> (only valid XML).

This, for anyone dealing with XHTML, is a big issue, as it will cause
any page to break, one solution would be to use XSL, but the PHP5
extension for that doesn't support XHTML, and causes many more issues.

There is a bug about this marked 'bogus', but I'd just like to point
out that this bug is not bogus and is a severe hindrance to anyone
using SimpleXML.
