Ouch. I knew that there were hosts out there still running 5.2. I was hoping they would be in the severe minority.
It's a damn shame, because a lot of the engineering-based problems that you alluded to in the Hello World topic could be tempered with the tools in 5.3+. Anonymous functions and namespaces alone would help greatly with global scoping in the core and for plugin developers, and neither of these features can be shimmed/polyfilled by client code.
