The PHP manual refers to "PHP 6" over 200 times, and there are probably a few people who've written code that takes this information into account. I'm not saying the proposal in this thread is a solution or needed, but there is a valid concern here. The PHP manual will be updated once this is figured out, with extra care ensuring unicode and PHP 6 information is current. All suggestions for how to handle this today are welcome.
