Hi!
Right, I think that is actually the conclusion we came to at one point. I don't remember the discussion that caused the RFC to be declined. I would be in favour of reversing that decision wherever it came from.
Amen to that!
And that just isn't going to happen. The only valid argument against short_tags itself is that it clashes with named PI tags and <?= does not have that same problem.
So, could we have <?= reclassified as "normal tag" and have short_tags killed for 6? Please? :) -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
