If we use namespaces and exceptions, it will be hard to maintain php4 and php5 compatiblity.. But maybe it can be solved with some #ifdefs ;) The only problem being, that code written for php4 is not compatible with code written for php5 (in php4 it wold be domxml_domimplementation, in php5 domxml::domimplementation for example) > Also, are function names going to follow the standard or are they being > phpized? (getElementById or get_element_by_id) Again, I think the DOM > standard should be followed, and not php's standard. Didn't think about that. Both have their advantages and disadvantages > > - Extension Name: It looks like domxml5 will be more or less completely [...] > > use a new name....xmldom, libxml, or just plain dom. nothing with dom,please ;) ext/libxml would be ok, since it's based on libxml2, but I don't like it that much .. ext/xml would be ideal, but this is taken and I don't think, we can break the API of that, as well ;) chregu
