I'd advise against using short PHP tags, as they cause all sorts of
problems with outputting XML-based code, and as you've seen, it's
doesn't make your code very portable. For the sake of a few keystrokes,
is it really worth it? Also, I believe they are being phased out as of
PHP6, so it might be time to think about updating your code a bit!
