Bug Type: DOM XML related

New Comment:
I'm aware of the differences in escaping between createElement() and
createTextNode() and neither one does what I describe. createElement()
unescapes NCRs (as I described in the original description) while
createTextNode() escapes values.
In a nutshell, using createElement() I end up with "<root> </root>",
and using createTextNode() I end up with "<root>&#0160;</root>".
There is no way to generate the literal XML "<root> </root>"
using either createElement() OR createTextNode()

It was decided to leave it as it is (for backwards
compatibility reasons)
use $dom->createTextNode() for the behaviour you want.

There's a trivial error in the expected result text: the string length
produced by var_dump() should be 65, not 59.

Description:
------------
DOMDocument->createElement() unescapes any numeric character references
(NCRs) contained in the value passed to its optional second parameter.
It should preserve the value as passed.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument( "1.0", 'UTF-8' );
$dom->appendChild( $dom->createElement( 'root', '& ' )
);
var_dump( trim( $dom->saveXML() ) );
?>
Expected result:
----------------
string(59) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>& </root>"
Actual result:
--------------
string(59) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>& </root>"
