New Comment:
Could we please review this decision?
Getting no E_DEPRECATED level errors is an important step when preparing
the transition towards to PHP 7.
The changes required are fairly minimal and it should be possible to
review them even without tests.
Owners of mature code bases will hardly be able to switch over to
HTML_QuickForm2, given that there are lots of API changes.

Would it be possible to review this decision?
For us, getting no E_DEPRECATED errors is an important part of getting
PHP7-"ready".
The changes required are minimal. Changing bigger, mature codebases over
to QuickForm2 (which is not API compliant) is not an option.

Sorry, we won't fix that at this stage of the package's life cycle. We
don't have a test suite for QuickForm so can't easily check that it
doesn't break.
If you want to run with E_DEPRECATED and E_STRICT on, consider switching
to HTML_QuickForm2.

With the latest version of PHP (5.3.1) using QuickForm with the E_STRICT

new by reference.
See the attached patch file for a fix.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
require_once 'HTML/QuickForm.php';
$form = new HTML_QuickForm();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Blank Page.
Actual result:
--------------
