No, actually it's quite useless except in the case that you use a non-unicode character set for your xhtml document and want to use unicode chars that are not in this character set. You only have to encode things that could be interpreted as markup in the current context, since doing contextsensitive encoding is pretty complicated most of the time you just encode <>&"' everywhere (htmlspecialchars with ENT_QUOTES). > I would like to register with pear dev and post these if the changes are > welcome/legal.
