Hello..
Was wondering shouldn't an abstract static method cause a E_STRICT ?

this is my test.

error_reporting(E_STRICT);
abstract class Test_Abstract
{
protected abstract static function testStatic();
}

class Child extends Test_Abstract
{
protected static function testStatic()
{
echo 'what';
}
}
$test = new Child();

or how should i read this

"Due to an oversight, PHP 5.0.x and 5.1.x allowed abstract static
functions in classes. As of PHP 5.2.x, only interfaces can have them."

im running 5.2.2
