Don't worry you haven't miss much.

removing or deprecating output_handler. If you want to write a portable app, you should indeed register output handlers in your app; But generally speaking, output handlers are functions which are very likely to be implemented on a site-wide basis, and not necessarily a script- or app-wide basis. For such purposes, php.ini is the right place.

Ok. You are asking for trouble and some people criticize "PHP is endlessly configurable by php.ini" :(

I'm very much against configuration options that affect the way the language behaves; But supplying server-wide settings that allow you to deploy your site in a certain way are a good thing in my opinion. They should also be transparent to well-written applications. Why would an I18N app not work with output_handler? Zeev
