I guess your proposal is much simplier (if i understand it correctly)
but i personally prefer merging properties becuase of thinking:
1) I have some object
2) I want to change it's prop's
3) So I just "commit" (right word?, "apply" maybe) the changes
This way I can have something like that:
$styles=array('style1'=>
array('font'=>'+2','bold'=>true),
'style2'=>
array('font'=>'-1','bold'=>false));
change_props_recursively($mytext,$styles[$cur_style]);
Well, having all the changes in a variable and not code
gives some advantages i believe... it can be passed, modified,
serialized... the applying function can be tweaked maybe ...
When the "change" should be computed I still prefer to compute
the recursive hash and apply it at once.
P.S.
Just my 2 agoras.
