I don't really mind about <? versus <?php, cuz I can cope either way. I even find <?php a bit more readable, for some reason. But I sure wish <?= would work even without short_tags on. As I understand it, <? needed to go away because of XHTML, no? But is <?= a valid beginning for XML/XHTML? If not, why did it get lumped in with short_tags?
