As Rasmus is probably tired of pointing out, this isn't much of an argument.
This:
if ($i < 4) {
...
is incompatible with XML (it'd have to be if ($i < 4) ...)
I find it unfortunate that there's a feature available with short tags on that
isn't available with them off, because that means it's a feature that you can't
use if you want to write code that'll work with anyone's php installation. But
that's about it - I end up on the fence.
