hmm.. seems easier to me to push a filetree of .php's with<?= through
the str_replace(), than it is to get all the<?= writers to comply

Exception or not, it's still your choice and using short tags can cause
problems.
My view, why create problems when there is a solution? Forcing the issue is
a bit like "I'm going to do it my way regardless!" I've traveled that path
too many times in my life. Sometimes it's easier to take the path most
traveled.
Cheers,

"There are four different pairs of opening and closing tags which can
be used in PHP. Two of those,<?php ?> and<script language="php">
</script>, are always available. The other two are short tags and ASP
style tags, and can be turned on and off from the php.ini
configuration file. As such, while some people find short tags and ASP
style tags convenient, they are less portable, and generally not
recommended. "
But the implication there is that they are *only* non-portable *because* they
can be switched off - there's no other strong reason. Before anyone jumps in
with XML / XHTML arguments again, those issues are fairly rare and very easily
worked around. My projects tend to use XHTML doctype because it makes IE7/8
behave more predictably without a <?xml ?> block, and I always use short tags
for <?= because the alternative is so ugly! In the rare cases where I generate
XML from a PHP script, there are workarounds for the <? problem.
I do tend to use <?php for blocks of code - so I guess I'm in the middle camp here.
I also write code to be hosted on dedicated systems that I have full control
over, so php.ini settings are always in my control (so far...)
