Uhm, let me throw in a little question, please. If we're going to change PHP5 fundamentally to PHP4, do we go back to adding the version number to the file extension, e.g. *.php5 ? I'm just thinking from a mass hoster's point of view, who certainly is interested in supporting PHP5, but does not want to give up customers depending on how PHP4 used to work. -daniel
