Just to emphasise that point, the SDO for PHP implementation depends on the C-style string interfaces in Tuscany C++. It already has to copy strings from Tuscany to the internal PHP format for string data, so another level of indirection would be most unwelcome. I imagine that other "wrappers" for Tuscany C++ might have the same issue.
