That works for the Common Law, because professionals with specialized education and training do this, but it does not work for a CoC, where a bunch of well-intentioned amateurs (and no, that's not intended to be offensive, but an objective observation; it's quite sad that I have to point that out) are expected to perform the ruling that allows "the law" to evolve. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
