PHP6 - 6.7 Remove support for <?, <% and <script language="PHP"> and add "<?php =$var?>"

Hi there, Hooray! No more <% ! I have to say I'm rather disappointed that you decided not to remove <? though, which causes us plenty of problems with XML. I do like the short tag approach of <?=$var?> , it keeps any PHP embedded in HTML nice and neat, much better than <?php echo $var; ?> . But surely <?php =$var?> would have been a great solution to the short tag / XML issue, whilst keeping embedded PHP nice and neat? Don't suppose there's any chance of a rethink is there?
