Well, I'm sorry if you guys think that this is not a bug, but it is
still a problem to me. I've read many forums talking about this issue,
and all the possible solution they came up with was to play with char
encodings... What I fail to see is, why htmlentities('<clé>'); would
output '<clé>' and new DOMText( '<clé>' ); would output
'<clé>' ? Since there's no option to prevent the text in being
escaped, I had to fall back into raw XML editing (strings instead of
DOM), making the whole DOM package obsolete to me. Could there be a
mechanism to prevent saveXML to escape the text nodes ? So people can
actually control what is being escaped, and what's not ?
If this is just not possible, please let me know, because I don't see
why it couldn't be implemented.
Thanks.
P.s. I did read the rules for posting bugs and reports. And I was
pretty sure I did it right.

Description:
------------
When using letter with accents (ie: 'é', 'è', 'à', etc.) there is no
way to use the htmlentities() function or any form of special character
encoding correctly. Or the browser (mostly IE) will refuse to read the
XML (FF is just fine) or, if using htmlentities(), the '&' in
'é' will because '&eacute;' which is not desired.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0','UTF-8');
$node1 = $doc->createElement('node');
$node1->appendChild( new DOMText( 'clé' ) );
$node2 = $doc->createElement('node');
$node2->appendChild( new DOMText( htmlentities('clé') ) );
$root = $doc->createElement('xml');
$root->appendChild( $node );
$doc->appendChild( $root );
echo $doc->saveXML();
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xml>
<node>é</node>
<node>é</node>
</xml>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xml>
<node>é</node>
<node>&eacute;</node>
</xml>
