Guys, I'm sure I'll annoy the heck out of some on this list, but there's still the question whether PHP should prevent any case of dumbness on the developer side. Whatever we do, some developers out there will be way more idiotic than we can ever imagine. And if any company choses that 16-year-old PHP "professional", (who, of course, delivers the same quality code as anyone else who's doing software development for a living), and their server gets hacked or something because of weaknesses in the code, they deserve it. PHP won't get more "respect" from the business side by implementing drop dead stupid stuff like automagic validation, but rather by getting what I mentioned a few days earlier - proper Unicode support, for example, or namespaces. Spare your breath for the important stuff. Nobody needs what's just being discussed here.
Just my 0.02$,

I'll add my agreement to this message. If proper unicode support is coming as Rasmus says, that's great; but functionality with this much potential for disrupting portability should remain in PECL.
