I cannot seem to find a major PHP framework that leaves it in so I will go ahead and officially call leaving off the closing tag a best practice by reason of: common sense, prevention is better than cure, type less--not more, etc.
Let's also hope that no noobs that were doing, or trying to do, the right thing (formal company coding practice aside) were negatively impacted in the process through performance reviews, perception, compensation, or otherwise. We understand that best practices are subjective to a degree, and that features of any language or platform will be abused. I also take this opportunity to encourage the PHP developers to add features that they believe solve real world problems and continue to make life easier for other developers.
