Hi Larry, For existent project examples and usage, here are 2 links of the upcoming versions of Doctrine 2 and Symfony 2:
http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/orm/2.0/docs/reference/basic-mapping/en#introduction-to-docblock-annotations http://docs.symfony-reloaded.org/guides/validator.html Please understand that Roman, Benjamin, Jonathan and I wrote this Annotation parser for Doctrine, which was reused by Bernhard on Symfony. So I have clean understanding of the issue we have on hands and every single point that it is required to address. That's why I wrote the RFC. Yesterday night a couple of people joined on #php.pecl and discussed a possible new implementation. I'll write what was discussed and probably some sample code.
