This is an obvious benefit for developers. Maybe even for site owners, as they can get something out of these benefits too indirectly, but I think it's too abstract to include in the site owner benefits list.

Maybe the page could/should list some examples: http://php.net/manual/de/class.messageformatter.php - could be useful for a better/faster way to translate things in WP http://php.net/manual/de/normalizer.normalize.php - could be useful to fix encoding problems. etc.

@Zodiac1978 That's a good idea, once we start working on a developer-related version. For now as primary goal however the version for site owners is most important, since they are the majority of WordPress users.

also one pretty important thing that will affect all the users on the site. they can use something WAY better for password hashing, instead of something based on MD5, which is generally a bad Idea
