Returns the HTML, or FALSE if an error occurred.
Examples

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$root = $doc->createElement('html');
$root = $doc->appendChild($root);
$head = $doc->createElement('head');
$head = $root->appendChild($head);
$title = $doc->createElement('title');

Regarding last note, you can post-process saveXML string in order to close empty tags with the following function:
<?php
function cerrarTag($tag, $xml){
$indice = 0;
while ($indice< strlen($xml)){
$pos = strpos($xml, "<$tag ", $indice);
if ($pos){
$posCierre = strpos($xml, ">", $pos);
if ($xml[$posCierre-1] == "/"){
$xml = substr_replace($xml, "></$tag>", $posCierre-1, 2);
}
$indice = $posCierre;
}
else break;
}
return $xml;
}
?>
At least script and select empty elements should be closed. This example shows how it can be used:
<?php
define("CABECERA_XHTML", '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">');
$xhtml = $docXML->saveXML($docXML->documentElement);
$xhtml = cerrarTag("script", $xhtml);
$xhtml = cerrarTag("select", $xhtml);
$xhtml = CABECERA_XHTML."\n".$xhtml;
echo $xhtml;
?>

DOMDocument->saveXML() doesn't generate a proper XHTML format either.
There is a problem with "script" empty elements. For example:
This will be the code generated by saveXML, with an empty script tag.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/JavaScript" src="myScript.js"/>
</head>
<body>
<p>I will not appear</p>
<script type="text/JavaScript">
alert("Not working");
</script>
</body>
</html>
I don't know if this is valid XHTML (W3C Validator doesn't complain), but both FF 2.0 and IE 6 will not render it properly. Both will use </script> as the closing tag for the first script causing js errors and ignoring in between elements.

If created your DOMDocument object using loadHTML() (where the source is from another site) and want to pass your changes back to the browser you should make sure the HTTP Content-Type header matches your meta content-type tags value because modern browsers seem to ignore the meta tag and trust just the HTTP header. For example if you're reading an ISO-8859-1 document and your web server is claiming UTF-8 you need to correct it using the header() function.
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');
?>

XHTML:
If the output is XHTML use the function saveXML().
Output example for saveHTML:
<select name="pet" size="3" multiple>
<option selected>mouse</option>
<option>bird</option>
<option>cat</option>
</select>
XHTML conform output using saveXML:
<select name="pet" size="3" multiple="multiple">
<option selected="selected">mouse</option>
<option>bird</option>
<option>cat</option>
</select>

<?php
// Using DOM to fix sloppy HTML.
// An example by Tyson Clugg <tyson@clugg.net>
//
// vim: syntax=php expandtab tabstop=2
function tidyHTML($buffer)
{
// load our document into a DOM object
$dom = @DOMDocument::loadHTML($buffer);
// we want nice output
$dom->formatOutput = true;
return($dom->saveHTML());
}
// start output buffering, using our nice
// callback funtion to format the output.
ob_start("tidyHTML");
?>
<html>
<p>It's like comparing apples to oranges.
</html>
<?php
// this will be called implicitly, but we'll
// call it manually to illustrate the point.
ob_end_flush();
?>
The above code takes out sloppy HTML:
<html>
<p>It's like comparing apples to oranges.
</html>
And cleans it up to the following:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html><body><p>It's like comparing apples to oranges.
</p></body></html>
