If you're getting an "error parsing document", then it's usually a
matter of ext/dom being unable to parse it. This most frequently happens
if you set the document as XML, but it has invalid markup. One thing to
note: DOMDocument::loadHTML() is typically *far* more forgiving of
markup errors than DOMDocument::loadXML() -- so make sure that if you're
claiming your document is XML or XHTML+XML that it's completely valid
XML markup.
