I think it maybe was useful for some REALLY lame HTML editors -- which may no longer be on the market, at this point... This is really more of a "guess" than a "memory". I can certainly imagine that in those early head days of HTML coding, some then-popular HTML editor didn't grok the maybe-not-quite-kosher <?php and <? or even <% tags, and did something "bad" with them. Maybe the HTML spec allows for *ANY* character, but I could see a lot of folks expecting only alphanumber, or even only alphabetic, in the HTML syntax, regardless of the spec. > or if many were even aware of the possibility? > IMHO it rather pointless and its should be avoided at all cost, > but anyway it probably makes someone happy so no harm done :-). I doubt that it's a whole lot of effort on the part of the PHP parser to support it, so unless there's a strong reason to deprecate it, leave it alone. There are much more important things to work on, I should think.
