Peter, I have fixed the bug in the source and it will be available as of
5.3.4, if you want to take this documentation issue :)

Moved to Feature Request category.
Could you open a separate bug regarding the documentation of this
array-style
access? Thanks.

Description:
------------
This is more of a consistency issue, but I'm submitting it as a bug
since it prevents certain type checks in PHP code.
SimpleXMLIterator does not implement the ArrayAccess interface (and
neither does its parent SimpleXML). And the documentation says nothing
about access via array syntax. However the class itself does support
that method of access.
To resolve the issue, two things can be done.
First, documentation should be updated to reflect that method of
access.
Second, SimpleXMLIterator should implement the ArrayAccess interface for
consistency...
Test script:
---------------
$xml = '<items><item>foo</item></items>';
$simple = simplexml_load_string($xml);
var_dump($simple->item instanceof ArrayAccess);
print (string) $simple->item[0];
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
foo
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
foo
