Description:
------------
There should be another setting in php.ini so that short_open_tag differentiates between 

<? print('Hi!') ?>

and 

<?= 'Hi!' ?>

It should be useful to disable the <? tag as otherwise PHP will attempt to parse 

<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/W3C-REC.css" type="text/css"?>

which is undesired behaviour. 

One way to counter the above mentioned problem would be to echo '<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/W3C-REC.css" type="text/css"?>' but having the ability to disable <? would be nice.

That's exactly why you can turn those short tags off... If you can not use them, then you also cannot use <?=... and that won't change.
