I've yet to meet someone in the last few years who knew about the PHP 6
project, and wasn't aware it was about unicoding PHP...
People care about the roadmap of the products they're using. I'm not sure why you would
think that the multi-year flagship version of PHP would remain a best-kept-secret. If
you google for "PHP 6" it's clear beyond a reasonable doubt..
At the time that PHP5 was released PHP6 was being documented and roadmaped as
the unicode path which would be in alpha 'in a couple of years time'. THAT is
the documentation that was used as the basis of several premature books on PHP6.
http://www.php.net/~derick/meeting-notes.html from the November 2005 meeting in
Paris is what we were all expecting to follow PHP5 since PHP5 did NOT address
the unicode problem that was well understood even back then!!!!
