No, it isn't, this is for developing the xml support in php, not 
answering questions about xml in php. Bugreports should go to 
bugs.php.net, and I answered to your problem (and the solution to it) 
already on php-general at Sat, 24 Jul 2004 18:22:47 +0200 ;). But it 
obviously didn't get through, so here's it again...

Yep, that looks like a bug...  Can you please file a bug at bugs.php.net?

The workaround is to write the following:

$node = $dom->createElement("foo");
$text = $dom->createTextNode( "which entities <i>does</i> it
escape & which doesn't it?");
$node->appendChild($text);
$root->appendChild($node);
***

  So, please just open a bugreport and someone will take care of it some 
day.. And as there's a perfect valid "workaround", it's not thaaaat big 
of a deal
