OK. I think I know which website you're updating with this scheme :-)
and I'd agree that your approach is the best possible in the
circumstance.

But I disagree about PHP's typing. I find the relaxed typing saves me a
lot of trouble. Same in JavaScript, where the only place I've been
caught out recently by types is as follows:

i = 3; // i is a nice integer
elmntPtr.dataset.i = i; // Now save this for later use

....

i = elmntPtr.dataset.i; // Get my i value back

switch (i) // Doesn't effing work, i is a string

switch (parseInt(i)) // OTOH, this works

So the only place I've been fooled is by the fact that the HTML5 dataset
attribute is always a string, which I discovered by trial & error and
reading the spec. Very irritating.

Otherwise the loose typing rules make for a relaxing life.
