Ironically perhaps, I recall this was what Terje attempted to  
implement with "fussy parsing", which was slammed by users on this  
very mailing list. I think with time, people have become a little  
less rigid with the understanding of "validity", and now somehow  
accept additional tests, especially when they are so detrimental to  
interoperability.

I can look into switching on warnings for shorttags again.
