Description:
------------
We need to add new categories to the bug system for the 
new PHP 5 extensions. At a minimum: SPL, SimpleXML, 
Tidy.

I know these are probably also listed in the pecl bug 
system, but anything bundled with PHP 5 should also be 
listed here; otherwise, we'll end up with lots of 
"Other" bug reports.

What is the point of the PECL bug system then? I would suggest some forcing of these bugs to go to the PECL bug system. We can include a list of buncled PECL extensions on the bug reporting page and direct people to the PECL bug system...

I'm happy for other solutions. All I'm saying is that 
the distinction between PHP extensions and pecl 
extensions is unclear even in the mind of the main 
development team.

I don't see how a "regular user" would have *any idea* 
that SimpleXML bugs go on the pecl bug system while DOM 
bugs go here or that SQLite bugs go on pecl (except that 
there's also an SQLite category here), while mysqli bugs 
go here, etc, etc. To them, it was just an extension 
that came bundled with PHP.

If the best solution is to place a bunch of text at the 
top of this page, then go for it.

added. tidy belongs in PECL, so not for that.
