Note Submitter: james dot d dot noyes at lmco dot com ---- If you are embedding this in XML, you had better place the ending '?>' there or the XML parser will puke on you. XML parsers do not like processing instructions without end tags, regardless of what PHP does. If you're doing HTML like 90% of the world, or if you are going to process/interpret the PHP before the XML parser ever sees it, then you can likely get away with it, but it's still not best practice for XML.
