The suggestion was to make <?<space> a valid PHP open tag, but <?<non-space> an invalid one. Thus <?echo would not be a valid PHP tag unless it was rewritten as <? echo So if we are going to do anything here, I don't really see anything other than perhaps catching <?xml<space> and ignoring that. -Rasmus
