Well, short open tag should be disabled, as recommended by the PHP devs.

Erm, security. And, did I mention security? Security is also an issue.

Honestly, we want (ideally) to have designers tweak or even write 
templates, so I would really put the template into a sandbox as far as

Plus a ton of other reasons. I mean, what was the reason for template 
engines being invented in the first place?
