this wouldnt realy help at all,
if you change this,
and you need those vars in a script, most people would do the same
like register_globals does.

the way to protect against this issue isnt switching this feature off,
it is writing code which protects against such attacks.

this is not a language issue, it is a
script-coder one,
if someone is not able to handle this, 
he is not able to write scripts if register_globals is turned off 
too
