Bug description:  php and xml tag confusion

Description:
------------
when an xml 'starting' tag is placed on an document, php confuses it with
its opining and closing tag.
it confuses its closing tag with xml end of the tag, and php confuses the
open tag for php with the start of the tag declaring an xml document.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php
on line 1

currently, the workaround is:
<?php echo'<'.'?'.'x'.'m'.'l
vers'.'ion="1'.'.'.'0'.'"
en'.'codi'.'ng="UT'.'F-8'.'"'.'?'.'>'."\n";?>



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Expected result:
----------------
[no error],rest of page

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:/apache/htdocs/xml.php
on line 1
