Leigh, There isn't a weak-only proposal on the table. There's the original one (dual mode) and the coercive one. Both have both strict and dynamic elements in them. I think that what Anthony proposed about a week or so ago, of having both votes, and if both pass 2/3 - have another vote to choose between them (where a simple majority wins) - makes the most sense in this uncharted territory. I think that opening the votes at the same time is probably a good idea. Zeev -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
