Description:
------------
When I load this empty file with Config and save it again afterwards, the <data></data>-tag isn't being written.

before:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root></root>

after:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

When I try to load the file again with the same code I get an XML_Parser error.

Shouldn't Config write the empty root-tag?

Reproduce code:
---------------
test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root></root>

test.php:
<?php
$conf = new Config;
$xml =& $conf->parseConfig('test.xml', 'XML');
$root = $xml->toArray();

$conf = new Config;
$root =& $conf->parseConfig($data, "PHPArray");
$conf->writeConfig('test.xml', "XML");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root></root>

Actual result:
--------------
test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I'm not able to reproduce this, no matter what I try.

Hmm ok, this seems to be fixed in the latest version.
But let me rephrase this, it's now not really a bug, but an annoying thing:

I have 2 xml-generation variants, one opens an existing xml file, changes it and saves it back, the other get's data from a database and writes it.

Now I need 2 different write-variants to write both cases, but I'd like to do it with one variant.

Reading an XML-File will NOT remove the surrounding Tag, so writing it back with option array('name'=>'data') will lead to this:
<data>
<data>...</data>
<data>

When I write my data i need the name-option so that the surrounding data-tags will be written.

Would be nice if parseConfig('XML',...) would recognize the name-parameter and automatically remove the surrounding tag, so that both cases can be treated the same.

Hope you understand my problem ;-)
