I compl. agree with that. I assume, that was/is the goal of PECL. But at the moment, PECL is, as someone quoted it, more or less like siberia. It's hard enough to get your provider to install some non-standard extensions, but to get them to install something from PECL, most presumably, hell will freeze over first ;) So, something has to change there, before we can aim for the "release-new-extension-updates-independently-from-php-releases". And it doesn't look like the moving of all (or most) extensions to PECL will happen soon.. It's some kind of dead-lock, IMHO > BTW, does libxml have a streaming pull parser? You mean something like that -> http://www.xmlsoft.org/xmlreader.html ? chregu
