Hello,
First let me say that I have a big problem with the name. PhpHtmlLib
basically claims to be the whole HTML category. So that would need to be
changed.

It seems to me that you should break it up into various elements or else
call it a template system (e.g., HTML_Template_PhpHtmlLib).
However, you also have the possibility of creating a package of the existing
solution that can be installed using the PEAR installer, without being part
of PEAR. That sounds like the best solution to me.

As for the UI category... it sounds interesting... and could contain all
template classes, etc. In principle, I think it would be a good thing, but
recategorizing classes would be a mess.
