I know about this problem. All the examples had pretty colors in the extended CHM versions before livedocs came into existance. I have some code for it to detect if an example has no <? in it, and add a preceding and ending delimiter in this case. It worked. The problem with these commits is for translations, it made exta work which makes translators work a little bit harder.
I have also seen things like deleted newlines in Mehdi's commits in the name of "fixing structures". Also some "and" words moved from one line to another in see also lists. These are also things which are not structural fixes, but plain WS fixes, of which the only affect is to make translators' life harder. It would be nice to think of translators too, who work with revision numbers and diffs of the files.
Regarding your coments, I won't touch the phpdoc/en/ again for such fixes.
Better discuss problems, and don't just only provide ten minutes for guys to complain. If you think that something is not right, but are unsure whether it fits the workflow, then please ask first.
