Obviously the bonus is no stupid human error/whitespace type issues with output buffering and such. But I wanted to know if there's any opinion either way for any other reasons?
If I expect human errors with whitespace, I better not trust the code. Honestly, how hard is it to simply start and end your files with <?php and ?> and never write HTML and PHP mixed? MVC was mentioned, and templating is already some years old as well. I don't get it, why would I want this? If the tags never had been needed, fine, but now...
