Hello Etienne, If static:: in static context behaves like $this in object context, it would be much meaningful. If we introduce the "meta class" concept in PHP, then each class is an instance of the meta class, thus we can treat a class as an object, and then it is natural that static members follow the rules of inheritance.
This may matches the running style of PHP better, which differs from other languages as PHP (under web environment) activates classes when request arrives, and shutdown them when request finishes, while other Object-Oriented languages persist classes and objects in memory.
