BTW: PEAR has strongly structured its packages while Java and other language don't have such "rigid" standard. So it's not really a good idea to go Java-style for naming the interfaces with "I/i"...Those languages do actually have a lot of structure (arguably more) via language-level support for packages or namespaces. Seems like PHP is about the only language in its class that doesn't support namespaces. I understand why Category_MyPackage is necessary, but it doesn't make it any less pathetic. But to the point, 'I' prefix is very much an accepted standard by anyone who has encountered interfaces -- or, worst case, I guarantee that a developer won't have to spend more than a few seconds wondering what 'I' means. Don't really care, though. :) It's good there will be a standard one way or another. -Hans
