I think I messed up my example $obj = new XML_Parser(); should load
/classes/xml/parser.inc.php which simplifies things (if I did mess up
the website I quoted has it done right). And it also means allot less
typing. No more 10 lines of includes at the beginning of your scripts.
Just an autoload.

Again I have never heard of performance issues with autoload. In work I
do in php I don't even use that function though.

There are allot of improvements to php that need to be made. Class
level namespaces probably being one of them, removal of magic quotes
and register globals and so on. Where php is at the moment they can't
really change too much without the risk of breaking backwards
compatibility.
