Before we add features, they need to be discussed whether we want to have them. As version name for it I would like to use "trunk-dev" (and not 5.4-dev or 6.0-dev) as we're not quite sure where this is moving. Right now, there are the following features that I can see we should think about:

Since we do not know the name of the next version yet, maybe its best to base the name on what version it will have as a predecessor and add support for this in version_compare()? Something like "5.3post". Ok this isnt a good suggestion, but I hope you get what I am suggesting.

We need a version number which can be represented as a numeric value like #define PHP_VERSION_ID 50303 to help extension authors; as said on IRC 5.4 is the only sane choice there. We can still increase the number if needed. How to document this is a good question...

How about 5.3.99? A lot of projects use this for pre-releases, but it still might make sense. Jan. -- Do you need professional PHP or Horde consulting? http://horde.org/consulting/
