This is what I wanted to know.  I was worried that the Zend Core was a 
development server, kind of like the WAS Test Environment in WDSC or 
RDi-SOA, and that you needed the for-fee Platform for real production.

IMO you're waffling just a tiny bit with the "mission critical" 
statement - I mean, what web application do you *not* consider mission 
critical?  Just about everything we discuss on this list is mission 
critical.  But since you do seem to be indicating that Core is still 
good enough for mission critical, just that a PHP shop would want to 
spend the upcharge for better support, you're not tap-dancing TOO 
terribly much <grin>.
