Due to encoding issues, I made it that binary strings were required for the XML based extensions when loading documents via strings. By adding the binary cast to 5.x it will at least allow developers to prepare for this change when 6 is rolled out, so imo this is a good idea. Rob Ilia Alshanetsky wrote:

Hello Edin, is it so hard to understand? Ok just kidding, it might not be obvious but as soon as you start to develop stuff that is supposed to run onboth 5 and 6 binary makesa bunch of things easier. Somehow like having var in 5 - only the other way round.
There are such things I guess - but then why only (binary) and not all syntax added in PHP 6?
Please, lets keep 5.x code in 5.x and 6.x code in 6.x, different branches exist for a good reason.
