Summary: PHP short tags randomly in code?

Initial Comment:
some people think PHP short tags are just fine.
I am strongly opposed to them.

Before I install any software, I search and replace any code I get for < ? 
and spaces after or a return line.
and replace with the full tag: < ? p h p

to avoid the convoluted and unpleasant conversations from both sides of the 
issue, I just don't use software with PHP short tags. I use them for XML when 
required. There is where I find it useful to have a separation. I can search 
code for the bracket and question mark alone and find the XML I'm after 
(site-wide searches for example).
otherwise bug hunting in other people's code is one-step more difficult...
