"C++ Usage" discussion is somewhat of a dependency for "Unicode" as it may add some more varieties of "awesome Unicode lib".

I don't see that the two do go together, and I'm with Pierre that introducing C++ now would only delay progress. It would however be worth serious consideration on a longer timeline? I still see unicode as a stepping stone which has already been incorporated into PHP by the back door and now simply needs a few loose ends tying up. Making it a major version upgraded is more about setting the ground rules for other areas than unicode per say. Formalising say UTF-8 usage by introducing a few BC breaks opens the debate where trying to simply shoehorn the missing UTF-8 elements into PHP5 may not be so practical? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
