Re: [xml] DOM modifying XML without permission

[Rob Richards <rrichards ctindustries net>]

Question should have gone to the php general list.

To answer the question though, resolveExternals property is also adding 
the default attributes into the tree. This property is not part of specs 
and behavior as is for those coming from domxml in PHP 4. In PHP 5.1 
(libxml2 2.6.0+ required), you can pass the libxml parser options (2nd 
optional argument) when calling the load methods to get finer grain 
control over the loading of the document.
