normally, one uses "<?php" to start php code. one uses "<?xml" to start an xml document.
so if one turns on php short open tags ("<?"), will that break the xml documents? no.
presumably because php also looks for the space. so php will match "<? xml" but not "<?xml". or in regexp language, php matches #<[\?] #, not #<[\?]#.

well, it was reported as a bug that the php project won't fix in 4.3.2. so at some point it was a problem, but now it's fine. i guess they decided to fix it since then.

Isn't short_open_tag off by default in PHP 5.3+? IIRC it's going to be removed completely in PHP 6.
i was under the impression it was going to be removed

probably. but even when i enable it, it handles #<[\?]xml# gracefully.

Right. I always use the print '<?xml ...'; out of habit anyway ... Never hurts to be compatible with older php versions ...
