The phpinfo() function generates a web page written to 
the XHTML 1.0 transitional DTD.

This page incorrectly uses the HTML technique of hiding 
CSS styles from "old" browsers useing the "<!-- -->" 
style comments.

The XHTML spec allows user agents to ignore CSS between 
such comments <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4> as my 
broswer does.

The end results is I don't get styled markup of php 
info in my browser... which is striclty applying the 
XHTML 1.0 spec.
