Using <?=$value?> as a shortcut to <?php echo $value ?> fails 
when using XHTML or XML, as the short_open_tag option has to 
be turned off.

Is it possible to allow this one exception in this situation, as it is 
such a great shortcut.

I can't find anything in the XML specs that would prevent "<?=" 
being allowed as a tag as an alternative to "<?php echo". A valid 
XML tag must begin with a letter, underscore or colon AFAIK (with 
the only exception you cannot start the tag with XML).

This will not be changed.

BTW, you may want to use echo "<?xml .....?>" .
