I don't think we should have a vote to deprecate something in the
manual, that is not actually emitting an E_DEPRECATED in php-src. Just
go ahead and change the manual, we got lots of similar things already
in there.

Another note to keep in mind; If these were to be moved to any other
extension, we would have to use our own implementation, or a library
which we can use, because if my memory strikes me right, then these
functions are implemented from LibXML2, although we always enable
ext/libxml, at least on Windows, this could be a minor issue if moved.

I'm neutral on the renaming.
