From: gmblar@gmail.com (Andreas Treichel)

With any exception from PascalCase you cannot e.g. generate class names 
from strings without a explicit mapping table:

<?php

function findParserByRootNode(DomDocument $document)
{
     $tagName = $document->documentElement->tagName;
     $className = ucfirst($tagName) . 'Parser';
     if (!class_exists($className)) {
         throw new RuntimeException('Parser not found for '.$tagName);
     }
     return new $className();
}

$document = new DomDocument();
$document->loadXml($xml);

$parser = findParserByRootNode($document);
$parser->parse($document);



acronyms in PascalCase looks strange, but consistent strange.
