In my eyes "principles" doesn't make clear enough what these "rules"
are meant to be fore. They are not just "suggestions" but they are
intended as "rules" without being too strict and saying "standards".
The name was chosen after a long discussion with Lukas regarding the
fear or people coding, using PEAR, and the developers contributing to
PEAR because there exist too many "standards". From my view
recommendations fits better - however others might have different
opinions ... please express them here.
