And let me stress that this is something we're *forcing* people to do
when they're on a short tags enabled server... It's not something
they're allowed to do at free will... PHP's convention is currently
responsible for people creating non-standards-compliant documents... And
I think we should take that responsibility and clean up the mess we
made... The XML spec is outside our scope... What's inside <?php tags is
our business...

<? echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>\n"; ?>
What a mess!...
What about the even shorter version:
<?="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>\n"; ?>
That's real ugly code...
