Re: cvs: phpdoc /en/functions var.xml

I don't think it's necessary to quote the developers when writing documentation. Many people probably have no idea who Andi is and it's even (very remotely) possible that he may not be involved in PHP development in the future. The PHP docs are the definitive source for PHP documentation and they already indirectly reflect the ideas and thoughts of the development team, without having to quote them. Besides, the documentation should be written in a confident style without having to support itself with quotes or references. What do you guys think?
