If anybody (being a contributor to a clone or some "user") sees anything
in any implementation that they want to be part of PHP they can under
the RFC process.

If anybody thinks there is need for a specification they can start
writing it and look for help and review.

Statements that something "should" be done by "somebody" won't work in a
volunteer project.

With that this discussion is finished for me. If anybody wants to
reiterate this we can do this off list, not taking time from others with
a meta discussion giving no results.
