I agree that the statement needs to be revised but not the way you are thinking. It is an A for Application not a WA for Web Application. There are already plenty of applications in PEAR most notably the PEAR installer.
That is true. As it is now possible bundle web applications with 1.4, what do we want to do ?
The in application standard for "tools" not "webapplications" IMHO. The key point is that the second we allow general purpose applications we also allow in frameworks. This will broaden the scope of PEAR to unmanageable levels. So IMHO applications if they are very focused in their usage and are developers tools rather than end user applications. But yes this section should be revised on the manual. regards, Lukas
