http://robrosenbaum.com/php/use-ruby-style-tags-in-php/ >From the post: "It's important for a second reason - arbitrary conventions should be standardized. That is, any time we are faced with a set of possibilities that are all of equal value - such as what weird punctuation our programming language should use to demarcate itself - we should pick one standard way and stick with it. That way we reduce the learning curve of all languages (or whatever the things the convention pertains to)."
