Please (OH! Please!!!) read our answers, read the specs and understand
that many of us (if not the majority) have to work with xhtml or XML.

Ok, can you at least try what you affirm?

Some tips:
I often use xmllint or other w3c tools to verify that my xml/xhtml
code is valid, before being parsed by php:

Take this file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<foo>
<? echo "bar"; ?>
</foo>

and run it through xmllint.

Can we now stop this discussion and revert this patch?

Thanks for your understanding, there is no more argument on any side
and the decision is obvious (by the voices and by the arguments).

Cheers,
