While this RFC is a much better way of deprecating the feature (looking at the previous votes it most likely will happen), the reasoning/text (main point) is still odd: - if the code author wants a portable code he HAS the necessary control over it and can always follow the coding guidelines and write it using '<?php' - contrary the control/option is taken away from the server administrator (the deployment environment provider) that if there is a project/code that uses short tags there is no way to support that anymore besides altering the code (for what he might not have the necessary control). rr -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
