What's exactly your problem?
***
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_string('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML
1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<textarea/>
<p/>
<br/>
</body>
</html>');
print ( $xml->body->asXML());
***
$ php5 xhtml.php
<body>
<textarea></textarea>
<p></p>
<br />
</body>
***
Anyway, not a PHP issue, libxml2 handles all that, so maybe upgrading
libxml2 helps...
