Comment:

 Closing this as "fixed somewhere along the road".

 I grep'd again, and the only find was something like this in atomlib.php:
 {{{
 $tag = array_pop(split(":", $name));
 }}}
 But since that's an external lib, I'm not sure if we'll mess with it at
 all. And as the split() (deprecated in PHP 5.3.0) would need to be
 replaced by explode() anyway, this can then be dealt with together.

 New occurances of PHP warnings/notices related to function calls being
 used as a call-by-ref parameter should get a new ticket.

 P.S.: Someone could change the Milestone again, if necessary, probably to
 3.2. (I seem to lack permissions for that.)
