I forgot to mention that if is PHP the parser (since you are creating PHP
scripts in a server that use PHP as CGI or as a module) this could not be
treated by the parser? I mean, the common XML tag is <?xml version...
Couldn't this be solved in the server side?

The "<?"...">" construct comes from SGML/XML - it is called a
"Processing Instruction"(PI). It's general purpose is to allow
application to leave pieces of information in the XML that
aren't strictly part of the content but allow it to help
process it. Classic use of it to put in page formatting
information into content ( pagebreaks, page no's etc ) that is
only relevant to the paper production system.
Part of the problems is that multiple different applications
can use PI's, so they need to be able to tell which ones are
their's - therefore the first thing that should go in a PI
is some kind of indication as to which application requires
it.
Therefore: Always "<?php" is a much better idea than "<?"
