I'd also prefer error handling based on Exceptions, and the ability to use PHP5 with a E_STRICT error reporting set (although PEAR is also very bad in this). However, I'm not saying we should branch it right away, I love the current state (and who am i to say there should be a branch) and i'd like to stay to the HEAD mainline for all development Greetings, Ruben -- Ruben Vermeersch http://www.Lambda1.be/
