I believe the decision from -internals was "seriously, who uses static methods and functions in the same code base that would use namespaces?" Of course, I would hope to be able to say "me!" once I am able to upgrade my work to 5.3, but the debate over the separator character is one of those guaranteed to start a flame war so I've just resigned myself to probably not being able to use namespaces in most places. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
