Re: [PEAR-DEV] Reworking XML_SVG to use DOM

Normally, the answer to such questions is "ask the maintainer", but
since this package is unmaintained, I say that if you take it over, it
should be your call.

Personally, I approve of such a rewrite. But then again, it's clear
that this lack of use of DOM was done for a reason - PHP 4 support. It
would probably be best to make a new package, and link to it from
XML_SVG as the new recommended way. I like the name "XML_SVG_DOM".

BTW, if you're willing to break off from PHP 5.2, and into PHP 5.3+,
you could also use namespaces and make a new package in PEAR2.
