Hello Zeev, i do not think this is a good excuse for ignoring xml compliance.

I don't exactly follow what you're saying - can you elaborate? I do not see any reason to make php a proprietary format ignoring xml rules just to allow some stupid simplification which is not needed at all.

Who says we're supposed to follow XML rules? And it's not a stupid simplification, it's the way the language works.

Every one that uses java script and and some server based scripting language knows that it is impossible to write closing tags completley into echo/print statements.

Hmm, I didn't know that. I don't think it's right either, you can write whatever the heck you want inside Javascript strings, including tags.

Thus i suggesst we reintroduce the patch and live with the fact that we need to write echo "<"."/script>" instead of echo "</script>".

Ouch, no way! I value my life, I don't feel like being lynched by a mob of angry users :) Zeev
