But let's face it, that's an utopic view (at best)! Even if optional, and even if backwards compatible, there are a number of things that will be quite hard to change, ranging from "it's very difficult/impossible to implement properly", to "this isn't the PHP way"... Just check out the discussions regarding function naming and/or parameter order and you'll understand, some things will remain; but remember the golden rule: Cheers, ~ Daniel
