So now there's going to be a PHP-ICU extension for PHP 5 and PHP 6, and PHP 6 will have ICU built-in to such an extent that it's backwards compatible with PHP 5? And what in the world would you do with PHP-ICU extension in PHP 6? I mean, unless you've type-casted a string to binary or whatever, it's already ICU, no?... So then you'd by typecasting a string to binary so you can use ICU to make it Unicode, rather than just leaving it as Unicode in the first place? I think one of your first documentation issues is going to be explaining how this co-exists, replaces, or has zero effect on PHP 6 built-in Unicode :-) Hopefully I'm not just being ignorant, though that's entirely possible with this Unicode stuff... :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
