Well, that explains how that particular project melted down, but what Unicode features did people
want out of that project that they didn't get? The presentation implied that there was vast
goals for the project, including a lot of localization features. It seems like some of the smaller
features can be worked into a Son-of-Unicode project, and maybe rolled into 5.5?
But right now, there is this impression of failure, and implication that PHP has no Unicode,
because a project to add UTF16 to everything in PHP wasn't completed.
