 SimplePie uses DOMDocument in a few places. But, it can be disabled,
 either by a distro messing with PHP (see Redhat) or with `--disable-dom`.
 When we use DOMDocument in core, we always check class_exists(). SimplePie
 does not.

 We'll need to get this fixed to avoid fatal errors when SimplePie is used.

 SimplePie 1.2 did not use DOMDocument. I wonder what else was added/used
 in 1.3 that could potentially be disabled.
