That's interesting, I've found out that it's the browser that's hiding <?php
?> tags within .phpx pages. Probably to avoid short tags scripts (on a
server that doesn't allow them) from getting leaked by visitors who don't
know about this browser trick, until the dev' realizes his error.

Not a good thing, IMO; dev's should take care, themselves, and it's still
not secure since the hidden string is still in the rendered source. And now
we don't know how to escape this one. Do we?
