It doesn't have to flow perfectly as PHP 3 users have to deal with many problems so listing all of these gotchas in one place will help even if it's disjointed. > Why should the Extending PHP3 sections be removed?

There's the Zend API, and various documents in the PHP sources. Most likely an inspired PHP Internals person will need to tackle this mess. A document that uses an extension (such as the Dir class, SimpleXML, etc.) as an example might prove beneficial. Regards, Philip
