Currently, pdt doesn't indicate if a certain function parameter is required or 
optional. As I understand from 
http://doc.php.net/php/dochowto/chapter-skeletons.php you provide this 
information allready.

So visually indicating what is required and what not is something which can be 
accomplished already by the pdt developers.

However, as far as I can see the docbook sources don't contain the actual 
default value of such an optional parameter. This would come in handy, in cases 
like

string htmlspecialchars
    ( string $string
   [, int $quote_style = ENT_COMPAT
   [, string $charset
   [, bool $double_encode = true
  ]]] )

If I want to use htmlspecialchars
    with ENT_NOQUOTES I want to see whether I need to override the default of 
$quote_style.
I've encoutered this type of issues more than once and this info is imho useful 
enough to have it.

I am curious about your opinions.
