So (from another character-set-intricacy-challenged individual), would ICU it be analogous to the DOM functions for manipulating XML-like structures? (The methods parentNode(), childNodes(), appendNode(), etc. are all supposed to mean the same thing in every language.) I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but I think if you mean that methods would do the same in PHP 5 and 6 - yes.

As far as I understand, he was referring to DOM as an example of portability. A method name has the same behavior and signature (nearly the same) in all languages, js, c# or php. His question being: will it be the same with this project? --Pierre
