Hmm, I have been doing this via setAttributeNS(), with the XML namespace namepace define('NS_NS', 'http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/'); define('NS_XLINK', 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'); $document = new DOMDocument(); $root = $document->createElement('root'); $document->appendChild($root); $root->setAttributeNS(NS_NS, 'xmlns:xlink', NS_XLINK); echo $document->saveXML(); Haven't encountered any problems with this method, seems to produce XML (SVG in this case) fine.
