phpxpath and php5

[Peter R. <php...@pe...>]

With the hugely improved xml capabilities in php5, I expect phpxpath will 
slowly become redundant. However, it'll be a while before scripts are 
changed, and also until php5 is widely installed in production environments, 
so those of us who have a script running on several servers may have it on 
php4 and on php5. 

I've just been testing my phpxpath scripts in php5 and have to say I've not 
found one that works :-(( For example, 'PHP Fatal error:  Cannot re-assign 
$this in /test/scripts/XPath.class.php on line 4614'
which it seems is one of the 'undocumented features' of the new version (see 
user comment at http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php)

What's the plan? Is phpxpath going to be left as is to wither with php4, or 
will it be updated to work on php5?
