So there is no common standard we can see written down, and agreed by phpdoc people previously. As you say, you hope we follow commits, and see the standards used there. BUT as many people committed many things to the phpdoc files, we can see no comon standard in files. This started the discussion about standards. And as there is no common standard written down, and the things in README 1.1 you referred to as the old standard so closely resembles PEAR (functions, spaces), we can start off with that. What do you think about that? Goba
