As I understand it, Andrea left her RFC free to be reused, reopened and derived without any specific limitation. It would therefore appear that it would be possible for there to be 100 derived RFCs all owned by different people, i.e. nobody has an exclusive right to either the RFC text or the concept of scalar typehints insofar as I understand it. Nevertheless, 0.5 following 0.4 leads to certain obvious assumptions that for good or ill may be made in the absence of the full picture. This all sounds like a simple misunderstanding under exceptional circumstances. As I believe Sara noted before, she will work with either of the RFCs (yours or Anthony's) as it fits her own purposes, so it will boil down to whichever RFCs gets published in the end. There's one up. I assume yours will follow. That shall make two :). Paddy -- Pádraic Brady http://blog.astrumfutura.com http://www.survivethedeepend.com
