Bug description:  xml_set_object() should take object by-reference

I am getting the following warning after I switched to
'php.ini-recommended':

Warning:  Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed
by value;  If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the
declaration of xml_set_object()... 

Apparently, xml_set_object() takes an object by value, which renders this
functionality useless: The only way it's any good is when the object is
passed by reference, so that the event-receiving object is the same
instance that was passed as a parameter to xml_set_object() call.
Otherwise, there is no way for a copied object to pass parsed data out to
the caller of xml_set_object() (without global variables, of course).

Please fix xml_set_object() to take an object by reference.

Thanks.
