PHP 6.0 = 5.4 plus Unicode. It sounds like PHP 5.4 is actually needed when 6.0 no longer has the Unicode semantics on/off switch. FWIW, personally, I need Unicode more than I need namespaces; I need Unicode more than I need traits; I need Unicode more than I need lambda and closures. I need Unicode more than I need {$capability_of_choice}. All of those things are nice, but Unicode is getting *critical*. Lars Gunther
