There are two different notions - compatibility and requirement.

A recipe "compatibile" with PHP 5.5 will work on PHP 5.5 but probably also  
on earlier versions - we simply inform the readers that this recipe works  
with this very particular PHP version which introduced a major change. We  
add the category [[!PHP55]] to those pages.

A PHP 5.5 "requirement" means that the recipe will not work on earlier PHP  
versions. A requirement should be added into the Prerequisites: line in the  
header.

My own recipes marked with [[!PHP55]] require neither PHP 5.5 nor PmWiki  
2.2.56, but they work on a PHP 5.5/PmWiki 2.2.56 installation.
