Subject: XMLReader in PHP 5.1
From: chregu@bitflux.ch (Christian Stocker)

Hi

As briefly mentioned at the start of the long PHP 5.1 thread, I'd like 
to include XMLReader in the standard PHP 5.1 distribution. XMLReader is 
in my opinion far superior to the sax extension and should therefore be 
included for more widespread use.

I'm not in the position to decide, if it should be enabled by default. 
It doesn't have external dependencies (besides what we already have, 
libxml2), but AFAIK we do not want to enable more extension by default.

I didn't hear any arguments against bundling it and it would be the 
right time to do that now for testing purposes. I remember that we did 
some special CVS tricks for tidy and soap for having them in pecl and 
the php-src/, maybe we should do the same here. But I don't think, I 
have the necessary karma to do that ;)

That's it, would be great, if someone could do that.

chregu
