Bug description: Allow <?=$value?> as shortcut under XML with short_tags off
Using <?=$value?> as a shortcut to <?php echo $value ?> fails
when using XHTML or XML, as the short_open_tag option has to
be turned off.
Is it possible to allow this one exception in this situation, as it is
such a great shortcut.
I can't find anything in the XML specs that would prevent "<?="
being allowed as a tag as an alternative to "<?php echo". A valid
XML tag must begin with a letter, underscore or colon AFAIK (with
the only exception you cannot start the tag with XML).
