Yes, I've introduced to prototype its usage in a plugin [1] to provide
in-page validation . If I'm happy with how this turns out from a
UI/code point of view I will consider porting it to master-1.2.x .
As I've mentioned before, I'm trying to unify the APIs behind a
service layer so that I can easily ( for users with Javacript enabled
) provide in-page validation without requiring Javascript to be
available.

If we do that, we'll remove all occurences of trigger_error anyway.
The point of the trigger_error handler for json and also for soap is
that the code does not need to know whether to wrap the error in XML
or HTML or JSON or whatever. It just works.

Right, first of all let's agree to disagree :-) , at least for now.
IMO in practice this 'no new features in stable branches' has
translated in no new features for two and a half years.I've tried to
squeeze in minor features now and then but I'm not happy with the rate
of changes. Frankly, for me as a 'new' developer this means that I
haven't had the change to contribute even one major change.
And the reason is that the major release never does come. I'd be happy
with such feature freezes if we choose to release majors periodically,
like every 6 months. It's either that, or a rolling release model.
Rolling out major releases every 3 years and rewriting from scratch
worked fine for Netscape :-)
