The <?php is definitely required, but the final ?> is, and always
has been, optional (as far as the PHP interpretter is concerned.
It's generally good style to include the ending tag (and it's
proper XML for processor instructions), but Chuck made the change
to the configuration files so that stray whitespace after the
closing tag won't cause people any more problems (because there
is no closing tag).

Whew, that's one long sentence ... =)
