For one thing, you say current standards as if you > expect they might change; for another, that would make the PEAR standards > not "standard" at all, and fairly pointless, IMHO. It makes it a recommeded standard which can still serve some purposes. Personally, I don't see the big deal if someone wants to call a method like this $this->empy_cart versus $this->emptyCart. In the case of PHPLIB it is probably creating alot of unnecessary work, headache and backward incompatabilities to try to convert to the PEAR standard. I agree that standards are useful but we can get on a slippery slope here that tries to standardize too much. What is true of the moderately applied precept is not true when taken to extremes.
