RES: [PHP] Short tag: why is it bad practice?

Andre : As Joshua says, the only php tags that always is enabled is <?php ?>, this is the default php tag, and never can be disabled. This <? ?> is enabled if short_open_tag is on And this <% %> is enabled if asp_tags is on But the default is off for both. Use this <?php ?>, and forgive configuration options.

Best practice dictates that your code should be as environmentally independent as possible. It's another few characters, why neglect it?
