Description:
------------
In PHP 5.2.5, DOMDocument::saveXML() accepted null as it's first argument, which has this documentation:

Use this parameter to output only a specific node without XML declaration rather than the entire document. 

In PHP 5.2.6, passing null causes error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// $doc is a DOM document object.
return $doc->saveXML(null, LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG);

Expected result:
----------------
IMHO null is reasonable value, meaning that whole document should be saved. I suggest to fix this backward compatibility break.

Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to DOMDocument::saveXML() must be an instance of DOMNode, null given, called in ...\index.php on line 97 and defined in ...\inc.Menu.php on line 23
