I started running through dom and have now run into a lot of issues I =
need to get resolved. Not sure if they are problems with the extension =
or engine bugs. Here is what I am running into.

Can no longer call static methods:
    i.e. DomDocument:loadXML() - results in Non-static method error =
(this used to work)
    Do the functions need to be registered now with the ACC flags?
    If so, is there any way to do this without renaming all functions? =
As the functions that take flags arguments all register classname_

When a static method is called in some objects constructor, The method =
is allowed to be called (unlike above), though there is an id of =
std_class being passed in, so I take it must be checked with =
instanceof() in order for a method to be able to be called as an object =
method as well as a static method.

Regarding the above, however, testing this with simplexml, which has the =
flags set for the functions, the function is still allowed to be called =
statically:

class Test
{
 function __construct()
 {
  print simplexml_element::asXML(); // crashes as simpleXML is not =
expecting this is valid.
 }
}

$a =3D new Test();

function asXML is defined:
