Thanks Daniel, I knew I read that soemwhere recently :-)

What I mean to say is who is the "many" that have approached Zend about 
offering such an industry standard? What I am looking for is the 
motivation beyond the establishment of a standard and a certification. I 
understand many of the motivation(s) behind M$ certification; I 
understand the motivation behind the CCNE certification (although I am a 
bit puzzled by the CNA one ;-)

Thanks alot.
