Yadis, php DOM, and RedHat

[Will]

Hi - I was exploring the PHP OpenID Library v2 for building an OpenId 
plugin for a CMS (http://bitweaver.org), and bumped into a snag with DOM 
in php5 on CentOS (RHEL) 5.

Using the yum packager of CentOS, php5 installs with --disable-dom. Even 
with delux dom is disabled. There are no rpms for the dom extension 
since it is bundled with php 5 - so dynamically adding it as module 
isn't even an option. This seems to suggest that anyone with this common 
config of CentOS 5 with php 5 would have to recompile php to use Yadis 
in OpenId Enabled. Not an attractive prospect. We think it would be self 
defeating to require anyone wanting to use OpenId to recompile php.  
CentOS 5 does install Php 5 with Simple XML 
(http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php). What are the 
possibilities that Yadis could use Simple XML? or another XML parser 
that would be easier to include than recompiling php?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Will
