No, we shouldn't have. It is not a deprecated feature or a discouraged feature. If you use the *FAIRLY RARE* combination of using PHP to generate XML, you'd have to configure your PHP. If you're with the vast majority of the population and couldn't care less about writing XML-embedded scripts, you enjoy a working short tag.
