It's slightly more difficult, but it definitely isn't any easier. The point here is that only having one implementation of the parser, which can change at any time, which also defines the spec (and I use the word spec here really loosely), is something that inhibits the ability to share knowledge. Requiring people use our PHP implementation, whether or not it is compiled to C is ludicrous. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
