A simple DOMDocument class wrapper that adds some simple improvements

Inclusion in your Composer application

"require" : {
    "dcarbone/dom-plus" : "1.3.*"
}

This class utilizes the PHP DOMDocument method registerNodeClass to extend several classes.

What this means is that whenever create a new instance of DCarbone\DOMPlus\DOMDocumentPlus, all DOMNode, DOMElement, DOMText, and DOMCharacterData objects contained within the document are instantiated as the modified classes I have included in this library.

So if you execute:

$dom = new DOMDocumentPlus;

$div = $dom->createElement('div');

echo get_class($div);

Instead of seeing DOMElement, you will see DCarbone\DOMPlus\DOMElementPlus. Same goes for:

$text = $dom->createTextNode('text!'); // returns DCarbone\DOMPlus\DOMTextPlus

Additionally, these methods will also exist if you try to consume XML with this class. However I have not done any testing with XML documents!. If you use this with XML and find issues, please report them
