Is there a reason this is marked as won't fix? I ran into this today,
and it
causes basic expected behavior such as:
$simplexml2 = clone $simplexml;
$simplexml->asXML() == $simplexml2->asXML();
to fail (returns false)

The asXML() method is special in regards to the document element as it
treats it
as a document node for simple trees. A clone of a document element is a
regular
element (a document can only have 1) and does not get special
treatment.
Patch breaks in memory tree. Either manually add the XML declaration to
the clone
or import to dom and clone the document and work off the new document.

Rob, could you have a look at this tiny patch?

The issue appears to be the cloned node doesn't have a document pointer
as its ultimate parent. Attached patch should fix that.

I got the same result when using the snapshot, as well as version 5.2.8.

Description:
------------
It appears that cloning a SimpleXML object will not produce the same XML
output on asXML() as the original object. The original will output the
XML header and a line break after the XML while the cloned object is
missing these.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$simplexml = new SimpleXMLElement("<root />");
$simplexml->path->to->node = "Zend";
$simplexml_2 = clone $simplexml;
echo "|{$simplexml->asXML()}|\n|{$simplexml_2->asXML()}|";
Expected result:
----------------
|<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><path><to><node>Zend</node></to></path></root>
|
|<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><path><to><node>Zend</node></to></path></root>
|
Actual result:
--------------
|<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><path><to><node>Zend</node></to></path></root>
|
|<root><path><to><node>Zend</node></to></path></root>|
