Why is the C5.5 code full of php short tags (<? and <?=) ?

I was wondering why C5.5 uses short open tags (<? and <?=) all over the place. Are they not evil any longer? ( seehttp://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/system/coding-sty... )

I counted the short tags using:

grep -r '<?[ =]' * | wc -l

for 5.4.2.2 I get "8" while 5.5.b1 has "5589"!

Does anyone know why this is?

I wonder if that is why eCommerce is playing up?

We run the code through an auto-replace before making it a release
candidate.

Thanks Franz, I already thought something like that.
