Secondly, violating visibility may have repercussions outside actual errors.Incidentally, PHP itself encountered this a few years ago, where a release of libxml2 changed internal behaviour that was being relied on for a hack. The result was that entities like > started silently disappearing from everyone's parsed XML if they compiled PHP against the new library. See https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.lib.xml.general/14610 Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
