The RFC is really a good writeup, very much appreciated. I've voted no because I'm not entirely convinced the current approach suits PHP long-term. I absolutely appreciate the hard work going into it, no doubt, and I rather have a solution yesterday than tomorrow. But I think a proper Unicode implementation in PHP must not rely on puzzle pieces put together without a clear goal where's we're overall heading. I know that the latter has been tried and failed (multiple times) but that's how I feel about the situation. - Markus
