'<?php=' isn't allowed by the current W3C standards so enabling this would brake standards compliance for PHP scripts.

If you want to be able to use '<?php=' you should go to W3C.org. There's where the XHTML/XML specs are defined.

If people change their code from '<?' to '<?php' then, while they're at it, they might just as well change it to '<?php echo'. It's just a teeny little bit more code but it makes sure that your documents remain standards compliant.

If you really don't like to use '<?php echo' and don't care about standards compliance, I'd suggest you keep short tags enabled.

Same for our company. We still use <? because of <?=


same here :-)

Would really be great if we could turn short_open_tags off and still
use the compact print syntax.
