Suppose a code library is written and the author writes it without the <?php at the head of each file. Using that library in a project that opted to keep the <?php requires adding this to the head of each file, or else ensuring that the library is always included with the code parameter set (which could get really messy with autoloaders.) Additionally (assuming that you modified the code files) updating the library in the future gets really messy. It's not the end of the world, but it's frustrating. I'd like to believe that most library authors will be smart enough to always include the <?php for compatibility purposes, but I'm sure some won't.
