I'm torn here. I can absolutely see the use cases for it, but it also is a can of worms in terms of many different coding styles. In short, this is going to make more work for FIG to sort out. > 2.

It's not clear from the RFC what the failure mode is. If I put an attribute in the wrong place, or repeat it when I shouldn't... at what point does the code blow up and how? Does it get silently skipped somewhere? Is there an exception? Is it purely informational for the user processing it? The RFC needs to be clearer on what happens when validation fails. Even if that's repeating something from the original RFC, it needs to be clarified here so that we know what we're talking about. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
