Firstly, I didn't actually suggest they were disabled. I suggested
that they should be off by default.
Late to the party I know, but I think something has been missed here.
Here's an excerpt from php.ini-recommended in a fresh download of PHP:
; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are
recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing
applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not

; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = Off
Given most ISPs habit of leaving everything at defaults, I'd say this
pretty much puts paid to using short tags.
Admittedly it is on in php.ini-dist, but that's not recommended is
it ;^)
