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 'é' 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>&eacute;</node>
</xml>


Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xml>
<node>é</node>
<node>&amp;eacute;</node>
</xml>
