A bug report or two have been made regarding function names in attribute nodes. Taking a look, nodes have the following access functions: node_name node_type node_value etc. However attribute nodes have the following access functions: name value specified I am thinking that to make it more consistent, we should change the attribute functions to attr_name or node_name attr_value or node_value attr_specified or node_specified I'd vote for the latter series since the programmer already knows they're attributes. Renaming will reduce the WTF factor. We can leave the aliases to the old functions for a while to maintain BC. WISH: I wish there was a Zend Function for marking a function alias as deprecated, I.e. so that a warning message is displayed if the function is used after being marked deprecated. A way to display the replacement function in the warning message would be nice too. Joseph
