No, because the user’s preferred mode is not a global one, it is a local one. 
You do not want to keep newlines in the following situation:

```
* line 1
<?php if ($foo): ?>
* line 2
* line 3
<?php endif; ?>
* line 4
```

With a global switch, not only you have failed to solve the real problem (doing 
the Right Thing with newlines), but also you have created another one (looking 
at the top of the file in order to understand the code). You have the worst of 
both world.
