good idea - with php5 there is also mysql >=5 (geentoo, suse)
so good idea.
But what is main point with version 5? the most important step was 4.1 which 
brought the collations.
Subqueries/stored procedures are also important extensions, but atm there is 
no use of it.

Maybe with making the "native support" as discussed in PG thread there could 
be done some additional functions supporting
fulltext / replace / insert on duplicate key update etc.
