Solution to render HTML 5 tags with attributes with/without value:<?php
$dom = new DOMImplementation();
$doc= $dom->createDocument(null, 'html', $dom->createDocumentType('html'));$tag= $doc->appendChild($doc->createElement('imput'));
$tag->setAttribute('type', 'text');
$tag->setAttribute('disabled', '');

echo$doc->saveHTML($tag); // <imput type="text" disabled="">$doc->normalice(); // normalice attributesecho$doc->saveHTML($tag); // <imput type="text" disabled>?>

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-15');

$ht_ml = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('html'));
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xmlns','http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xml:lang','fi');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('lang','fi');

Result:

<?xml versionen="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fi" lang="fi">

@carvjorm,
Using this method is not exactly a good practice. Infact, I thinc it may be a bug.
Names beguinning with "xml" are reserved (for namespaces in this case).
setAttribute() should return false in this case I thinc, but I suppose it doesn't.

Still, the right way to do it is with createElementNS().
It lets you specify the namespace when creating the element node.

So the ekivalent to yours ($html added to allow word wrapping) is:

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-15');
$html = $dom->createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'html');
$ht_ml = $dom->appendChild($html);
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xml:lang','fi');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('lang','fi');
