<?xml ()?> has whitespace.
And I personally think it's a bit pushing it. How likely is it for someone to have a function called xml(), and then call it without a space from the <? tag, and then add a space before the parentheses? I think we can safely ignore that one...
I don't see why it's such a big deal for people who are creating xml to turn-off short tags?
I don't see why it's such a big deal to have this thread quiet down for at least a couple of years, and making the lives of those who generate XML a bit easier, and their scripts more portable.
Why for a couple of years? Oh because we might end up finding out it wasn't such a good idea after all? :) It might lead to people wanting other new XML2/3/foobar tags to also be excluded?
Well anyway, as far as I'm concerned, it's not such a big deal either way and it's always fun to be able to say "I told you so" so I'll retire from this discussion. Admittedly there are good points to both sides.

P.S. - If we do go with it then the original patch of Ilia is probably a better idea for now.
