My product/service is currently only a US/domestic one. When the day comes that we need to make it international, we'll have a lot more to worry about than simple phone number display. There will be "gettext()" involved and .po/.mo files and all that other hassle (I know, I've done it before with other companies). Also date formats will change from m/d/y to y-m-d too. So I would counter and say, a good site designer, designs for their target audience... ;-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
