"PHP's convention is currently responsible for people creating non-standards-compliant documents..." What are you smoking? :-) Having short tags on doesn't force people to create non-standards-compliant documents. People not bothering to follow standards aren't suddenly going to follow them just because short tags is no longer available. It doesn't even need to look as ugly as posted here if you just use single quotes. >> <?="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>\n"; ?> <?='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF_8" ?>', "\n" ?> [shrug] Whatever. I'll miss the <?= personally, as it was quite handy for interspersed mini-calculations not easily wedged into heredocs without a log of extra lines of code assigning to one-use variables... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
