Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] new browscap INI parser...
From: ilia@prohost.org (Ilia Alshanetsky)

While anything would be better then the current solution I wonder is perhaps 
going the INI way is not the best idea due to the potential confusion. The 
fellow who supplies the ini files with browser information also has a csv 
file with the very same data that is much easier to parse.
