This is used when reading scripts that are in encodings like Shift-JIS which is very common in Japan. In any case, I have tried to get involvement from some people I know over there without much success. My preference would be to push out a beta ASAP to start solicitation feedback and start the process (which will take quite a bit of time anyway and is likely to require at least a couple of betas and probably 2-4 RCs). At some point one just has to draw the line and get things going or we'll have infinite feature creep. Even though many may be legit there are other versions of PHPs coming out and also the RM can make some exceptions during the beta cycle if the changes are low risk and make sense (this has been common practice so far). This is also likely to wake up our friends in the far east who have a vested interest in keeping multibyte enabled in the scanner and we can then work with them to use the PHP 5.2.x code where possible if/when they wake up and scream...
