The problem comes if you use php to generate xml documents.... in xml you
use the tag <?xml.. if php is setup to handle <? then it takes that then
throws a parse error as it attempts to read the xml bit.
Simplest solution if you are using php to generate xml tags is to always use
php to generate those.. ie echo('<?xml....'); works fine
