That's a good point, but if your code is well separated from your content, then the opening PHP tag merely gives your code necessary context. Closing it is more adverse than no closing it since you may accidentally leave whitespace as the OP was finding. Thus omission of the closing tag leads to cleaner code and easier maintenance since you don't need to track down whitespace error (nor do you need to enable ob_start() to solve said issue).
