Yes. Why can't it be IntlCollator in both 5.x and 6.x? In other words (unless I'm missing something) compatibility between 5.x and 6.x doesn't affect the naming choice. > I however think that here usability is > more important than uniformity for the sake of uniformity. I'm advocating uniformity for the sake of usability :-). (for reasons already given). (I'm a freelance programmer, working on real-world i18n-related code, not an ivory tower academic.)
