The difference between 5.8 and 5.4 is a lot more than convenient fixes. 
I see where you're coming from, but quite frankly for certain things 
such as XML programming using 5.6 is already a drag and I would have to 
be paid lots to bother trying to get some of my stuff to work on 5.5, 
let alone 5.4. Do consider the fact that there are things that have 
changed since '97 that just can't be comfortably emulated.
