I particularly like that the 3 string types were brought down to two (binary and string, with string always being Unicode when enabled), but it gets kind of confusing when a binary string is called "STRING" internally, and a text string is called "UNICODE". :-p I really hope to see a lot more discussion of Unicode and PHP, and any possible actions or practices we can adopt NOW that will meld more smoothly with the Unicode support anticipated in PHP6 - any suggestions?
