Right, let's do that. I can try to make a patch if somebody can send me
an example script (in a .tar.gz file).

We are still early enough in PHP5 deployment to fix stuff like this and
not worry too much about 5.0.x BC breakage. Especially for something
which already has broken BC with PHP4. People porting their stuff are
already screwed. So we either revert to PHP4 behaviour to remove the
BC break or we do it right and default to UTF-8. Leaving it as-is
because of BC worries to 5.0.x shouldn't even be considered.
My vote is to default it to UTF-8.

the minimun BC 'll be convert it back to the orginal encoding by
default, it'll not break any php4 or php5 scripts, it'll break only the
not working one, what the problem with it?

Oh come on, nobody uses PHP 5 yet :) For once do things right instead
of half-assed solutions we've had for the past years because of BC
issues.

It works for all correctly, which use iso-8859-1 (or similar or utf-8
in the iso-8859-1 space) source encoding or which did specify utf-8 as
output encoding. So for the majority (I'd say), it works as expected,
if we change default to UTF-8 (which would be of course the correct
solution), it will break a lot of people's code.
The encoding thingie in ext/xml in PHP 4 was always broken, IMHO. We
unfortunately missed the chance to implement it more correctly with
slight BC breaks for PHP 5.0.0...

I'm for breaking it and make it output UTF-8 by default like the domxml
stuff does. Consistency is a good thing and as it doesn't work
"correctly" for 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 anyway I'd say we fix this.
