From what I know, in the future versions of PHP short tags are going

Common misunderstanding but the short_open_tag directive will never
be
disabled by default. There are distributed php.ini-* files that
disable them, but those don't contain default values.
This neither answers nor invalidates the original question, though.
Unfortunately I do not remember everything about this but do know that:
- Decoupling <?= from short_open_tag was discussed, and did not
happen
- Allowing it to be enabled at runtime was discussed, and did not
happen
- The issues with <?= and <? are similar... an invalid PI
I've not read every thread or discussion on this (there are many) but
CVS speaks for itself. Here's one thought comparing the two viewpoints:
- http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=120614525214419&w=2
The following RFC mentions this decoupling, yet was declined:
- http://wiki.php.net/rfc/shortags
And lastly, the general topic of short tags came up recently while
several people discussed PHP 6:
- http://wiki.php.net/summits/pdmnotesmay09
In summary: It's a topic people don't want to talk about. :)

Philip
