The idea was to drop domxml once we > have dom - we have dom now. Is your POV, that you don't want people to use domxml with php4? If so, the EXPERIMENTAL tag for php4 should stay to hinder people using domxml with php4? My impression was to use the EXPERIMENTAL tag for 'unstable' features, not to hinder people to use a feature. domxml is php4 only and not longer in the packages for php5, because it was moved to pecl and is deprecated for php5. One has to take extra steps to use domxml with php 5. That said, I can't imagine people start using php 5 with domxml, they would use dom. Simple question: Is domxml still experimental? I think no ;-) From the archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=109358625722096&w=2 Regards Friedhelm
