Could someone please make a method in PHP v5.x to format the XML. After
adding/deleting nodes, the XML gets fairly messy. Ideally it would have an
offset character position to start the indent (default of 0 or left margin),
and a parameter for how many spaces to use for each indentation (default of
say 4 or 5 (same as a tab)).

You could just make this optional parameters to saveXML(), but I think it's
more flexible to have a DOMDocument->format(offset,spaces);

You mean like calling $doc->formatOutput = TRUE; prior to save?
