Subject: PHP as a template language
From: sunseb@live.com (=?UTF-8?B?U8OpYmF0aWVu?= Durand)

IMHO, PHP is a great template language. This is what makes it so simple 
and powerful, compared to other web languages.

So far, we have "<?php", "<?=" and various legacy syntaxes like "<?".

A suggestion : deprecate these old tags and replace them with a more 
elegant and a shorter implementation.

For example : "<%" and "<%=" or "{%" and "{{" ?

What do you think, guys ?
