The two pages for reference. http://developer.mozilla.org/es4/spec/chapter_11_packages.html http://developer.mozilla.org/es4/spec/chapter_12_namespaces.html The spec's quite nice, although a bit of a nightmare to implement in parts ;) - From what I've seen, and I've not been keeping up with all the posts - PHP's implementation looks a bit more like Javascript packages.

Exactly. That was my main point. And, as I said,ECMAScript 4 will most probably be the main other language for most ordinary PHP developers, not Java and certainly not C. Especially the newbie ones! From a pedagogic point of view I'd say "namespaces" is the better name. Lars Gunther
