I think there is some discrepancy with this ini directive. In the
study book "Zend PHP5 Certification Guide" form PHP|Architect, It
states that the short tags are deprecated. I am not seeing any other
references to short tags being deprecated. In fact in the
documentation for the Zend Framework, it's stating that short tags can
be used as long as the directive is turned on:

Has any one out there heard of short tags being deprecated?
I like the short tags, they're a comfortable syntax for templating
that's both simpler and more powerful than templating "problems" like
smarty.
However, most PHP style guides advise against the short tags. I
think they're not quite SGML compliant, so some HTML editors might not
handle them correctly. Also, like magic_quotes_gpc, short tags may or
may not be turned on for a given server, so it's one more thing that
can break your app. Now, I'm sure ~your~ organization is better, but
there are ~some~ organizations that have 10 web servers with PHP and
it's pretty random if magic_quotes_gpc or short tags are turned on or off.
