No one is going to write code in their own native language and distribute it worldwide.
How can you say that "PHP6 Unicode support is not designed for international environment"? Have you even tried it?

I don't care about Unicode support, because it breaks things. I suspect that PHP6 Unicode extension won't give me controls that I have in PHP5 and PHP4 strings. PHP6 Unicode support is not designed for international environment. It is designed for nationalized environments and allows PHP script developers to code in their native language. Code written in French, Russian, Arabic, Japanese or Chinese is not international. Only some people can read it. Only some people can see difference between ァ() and ィ(). If I have to debug code written in Japanese or Arabic, language is the main barrier in understanding the code.
