Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

No, your <html> string is the first statement. It's basically "echo '<html>';" to PHP.

I understand that intermediate non-PHP sections are implemented using 
'echo' in PHP grammar, but is this really helpful to count them as PHP 
script when we are talking about namespace scoping?
