Finally, I would like to point you to
http://www.php.net/manual/en/userlandnaming.rules.php:
"PHP will prefix any global symbols of an extension with the name of the
extension."
That's not what the real coding standard says:
If they are part of a "parent set" of functions, that parent should
be included in the user function name, and should be clearly related
to the parent program or function family. This should be in the form
of ``parent_*``
I could, of course, split intl extension into seven separate ones - each
for each functional module - but what use would that be?

Hi,
I have been told that PHP6 has implemented transliteration in some form,
but no specifics were given.
Does anyone know anything about transliteration in PHP6. I have noticed
that PHP has an ICU extension. ICU has a very comprehensive
transliteration/transform module that is not documented.
Currently I am using iconv and a PLEC extension to transliterate, but
they area neither comprehensive or widely supported.
There is also another method you can use to do transliteration, which
invloves NFD normalisation, but this is a very poor option.
