Sorry, I deleted the other e-mail a little too fast, but this is in response

Two questions for the Zend team:

- Why would you want to modify config information in memory?
- Why no nested "extends"?

In the proposal response, we asked that the constructor support an
optional flag to permit modification in memory.  However, the flag can't
be changed after instantiation (to lock read-only mode).  This is to
allow for easier testing of components using Zend_Config.

We want to discourage spaghetti files.

Rob,

I have gone through the Zend_Config V2. Nice job!!

Maybe, it would be *nice* to make the special inheritence keyword "extends"
case insensitive. PHP treats the "extends" keyword similar, when inheriting
from classes.
