If anyone is playing around with simplexml, dom and/or xsl, I have a =
patch for the interoperability between simplexml and dom. I am leary =
about committing it right now as it has limited testing, beta 2 is being =
released next week and I am leaving on tuesday for a week or two, so =
wont be able to fix any issues that might arise from it.

patch - http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/interop.diff.txt
example script - http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/interop.php.txt

The changes include:
    simplexml
        new function: simplexml_import_dom(domnode) returns an sxe =
object
        behavior change: setting the value of an element will do just =
that. I removes all child nodes unlike previous version which would =
change the value of the first child node of the reference node (I dont =
believe this was the intended behavior)
        the change in behavior and the integration with the functions =
from the libxml extension should resolve a lot of the libxml memory =
leaks

    dom
        new function: dom_import_simplexml(sxe) returns domnode
        also a minor change to clonenode method of domnode

Let me know if people really want this in the beta release otherwise i =
am going to wait until after I get back to further test and commit this =
stuff.
