Correct. The line Michal quoted is describing a coding standard in the
Zend Framework, not a language requirement. Obviously closing tags are
always permitted in PHP. The Zend Framework team has just adopted a
standard that they are not to be used within the framework codebase
itself, for the reasons stated in the rest of the quoted reference.
Thus, within their standard, the closing tag is never permitted. :-)
