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', '&amp;&#0160;' ) );
var_dump( trim( $dom->saveXML() ) );
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(59) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>&amp;&#0160;</root>"

Actual result:
--------------
string(59) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>&amp; </root>"
