Something to keep in mind -- I read somewhere that using short tags is 
in fact NOT in compliance with the rules of XHTML.  I'm not sure where, 
though, because now that I think about it, there wouldn't be any tags at 
the time that the page is served by the web server.  Hmm...

Google to the rescue.  Look right in the first couple of paragraphs of 
the following:

http://unixtech.be/docs/php/language.basic-syntax.html
"While the short-form tags and ASP-style tags may be convenient, they 
are not as portable as the longer versions. Also, if you intend to embed 
PHP code in XML or XHTML, you will need to use the <?php. . .?> form to 
conform to the XML. "

Better whip out that batch-file regex!!  :)
