Re: the class as a namespace

That's a common use of static classes. Eg: HTTP::Redirect($url); In fact this (from the article I've read) is exactly how namespaces will look like. So in the above example, HTTP could be either a namespace or a class.

Right. Namespaces do look similar. And PEAR employs similarly looking packages naming convention. So it seems the static classes (which are actually simply classes with static methods/properties, right) are the best "namespaces like" way, until the namespaces arrive. Thanks for your note, Iv
