I'm mouthy tonight. But I should say two things ('cos that's what I do 
best):

1) Mike's version of output buffering has been sitting in HEAD for a very 
long time
2) He wrote it because he saw problems with the existing solution

the only issue is of course:

3) has it been tested enough to justify making it mainstream PHP?
