I hadn't thought of it that way. I run everything through a code cleaner to prevent just that, but it might be nice to stop doing so. > code is cleaner if it has no HTML content (unless via print or echo) and > you don't include the closing tag. For small blocks of HTML, I'm inclined to agree. I still prefer that large blocks be printed "plainly," both from an editing and (slight) performance standpoint, but I see where you're coming from.

It's optional, so you can feel free to include it if it makes you happy. But from a library standpoint, it's generally just a hassle to include it and then pray you didn't have some whitespace following. IMHO the code is cleaner if it has no HTML content (unless via print or echo) and you don't include the closing tag.
