Hello everbody, one thing on my mind is the current naming of our internal classes. I could say the same for our functions but no, I don't have plans to save the universe, saving the world should be enough for now. So I've tried to dig through the ext/spl-package as an example how to implement namespaces for internal classes. Also I did it for SPL now, I would go on further and discuss such changes e.g. for ext/intl. And here is the resulting RFC: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces-for-internal-classes The RFC is not ready yet but I want to get feedback on it. The integral part is the list of renamings and that's fixed, so you can expect a bit more prose :) Having that for 5.3 seems like a good idea, as we have a) a number of added SPL classes, b) most likely new extensions introducing new classes (ext/intl, ext/phar), c) having it is 5.3 would allow us seemless transistions to newer PHP versions. cu, Lars
