Fine, but what I was saying is that the behavior of number of functions will change, slightly or more than slightly, depending on unicode semantics mode being on or on the type of data passed to them. Those changes need to be documented.

I have already started documenting the Unicode stuff about one year ago (http://php.net/unicode). Most is already out-of-date, but it is a start point. What we were discussing is if we should change every page to mention that it is unicode-safe/aware/compatible/whatever. We were all against that because changing every single file would be a pain for us and mainly for the translators. All functions will be converted by the time PHP 6 is released, so there is no really interest in marking every single function as such.

What we can do (and should) is to add some information to the reference.xml file about how the extension handles unicode data (for example, the xml extensions use utf8 internally because of libxml, etc..)
