You might consider submitting a patch upstream, since "ERROR" for missing non-required things, and "NO" for missing required things is rather disingenuous. Would it be possible to set this (and potentially other options JFFNMS needs) in a .htaccess file? I see that's possible to set at least register_globals in .htaccess as of PHP 4.2.3. register_globals is a known security risk[1], and I don't want to expose my other PHP stuff to that.
