What you're saying makes sense but I think there's a performance tradeoff as WDDX is probably quite a bit slower than our optimized serialize() or is it negligible? Are you sure you'd want to see an XML ini file. I don't think you would really gain anything except for having a more complicated .ini file. It's quite easy to use now.

    question is: do we want to make wddx our standard serializer

    a nice idea as we would than have a "blessed" format for our
    session data.

    Why do you want to prefer the WDDX format?

    if there's no strong reason against it i would perfer it as
    it is a XML-based "open" standard. our own serialize() format
    is not! only php unserialize() can read it's output.

    in the long term i would even prefer if serialize() would write
    wddx-encoded data - just make unserialize() understand both
    formats.

    i think we (the php-community) should try to use open formats
    wherever possible.  maybe even make php.ini into xml?
