[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4050421, member: 710"] I think this might also be the reason why it's less needed to create a replacement/alternate PHB. I don't really see a big market for a game that increases the magical item dependency to the levels of 3E. If you want to create an Iron Heroes style game, you just need to add what you want to add (new classes, the +1 to attacks/defenses per 4 levels) and remove elements you don't want (+X magical swords, implements, armor and slots, and any class not appropriate for your game). This doesn't require a new write-up of the core rules. (Such a write-up might sometimes be handy, but it's not required). I suppose you only need to create new core rules is when you want a very low-powered game - which might include no class powers/maneuvers/spells at all.
