Hello, Based on comments from the annotations thread, I have created a docBlock parser RFC at http://wiki.php.net/rfc/docblockparser This RFC does not deal with annotations per se, but only with the idea of adding a function to the Reflection extension which would parse docBlocks according to a set docBlock syntax into a simple associative array containing three elements: short description, long description, and an array of tags. This is only meant to aid meta-data retrieval for classes and does not automatically instantiate anything objects. The RFC was meant to conform to existing convention on the formatting of docBlocks - so one major way to improve it would be to note any inconsistencies with accepted practice. Feel free to improve in any other way as well, of course. Thanks, Chad
