Namespaces will be a life saver when you realise that so many global functions is a really bad idea. URL rewriting will always remain with Apache as that's not a PHP task at all - even Ruby on Rails uses Apache's mod-rewrite, so I think you're well out of luck on that one. Namespaces are useful as it gets rid of those prefixed functions you see dotted around the place - simplexml_* to name one. You would just do something like:

php Code:

use SimpleXML as SXML;

$pXML = new SXML::SimpleXML;
echo $pXML->load_file();
