Sterling, please take a step back and look at this issue
through the eyes of someone who comes from a non-programming
background and just entered the the world of PHP. Do you
realistically think it will be as easy for him as it was for
you to overcome the language barrier?
Also please think about the billions of people who are not in
such a privileged situation of having Internet access all the
time.
Think of school labs which are not permanently connected;
think of poor countries where access is not easily available;
think of home users with time-metered dial-up access.
For all of those, relying on the online documentation might
not be an option.
