XMLWriter::endDocument() closes properly all remaining elemens not yet closed.

Without XMLWriter::endDocument() :<?php
$xml = new XMLWriter();
$xml->openUri('php://stdout');
$xml->startDocument();
$xml->startElement('a');
$xml->startElement('b');
$xml->startElement('c');
$xml->startAttribute('foo');
exit;/*
Outputs :
<?xml versionen="1.0"?>
<a><b><c foo="
*/?>
