     Creates an XML document from the dom representation. This function
     usually is called after building a new dom document from scratch
     as in the example below. The
     <parameter>format</parameter> specifies whether the output should be
     neatly formatted, or not. The first parameter specifies the name of the
     filename and the second parameter, whether it should be compressed or not.
