Why not use

/*
comment
*/

or // comment

?

As said you can duse // or /* */ comments. Extending the grammar by this forces people to learn more things without much benefit.

The reason i'm asking is because this syntax is faster to write than:
<?php /* this is a server-side comment. */ ?>

Also it's supported by most server-side scripting languages (JSP, ASP).

Sorry, this isn't going to happen. We finally got rid of the ASP tags in PHP. We 
are not re-introducing them.
