Cheers for that.
I know I definitely want to do XSLT stuff and for that I need to use
DomDocument (I'm sure there are other ways but this works fine for me so
far!).
I guess think I asked too open a question, when really I'm looking for
fairly specific answers (or rather opinions).
I'll phrase it better: one can easily convert a SimpleXML object to a
DomDocument[1], but nothing is "free" (in terms of time taken and memory
requirements etc.), so really I guess I want to ask if the trade off of
the simplicity of working with SimpleXML is worth it considering the
overhead of the conversion process to a DomDocument for subsequent XSLT
transforms etc?

[1] e.g.
if ($xml instanceof SimpleXMLElement)
{
$rv = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$node = dom_import_simplexml($xml);
$node = $rv->importNode($node, true);
$rv->appendChild($node);
return $rv;
}
