Except when you want to indent or client-side validate your code. As for
the former, the EOD (or whatever delimiter you use) must be at the
*beginning of the line* and must at most followed by `;'. As for the
latter, a client-side HTML validator will not see the HTML that you put out
because to it it is PHP.
In addition, you still would have string escaping issues and difficulties
with function calls, and it is very inefficient to have PHP string-parse
large chunks of code that does not need parsing in the first place.

BTDT. Here-doc is tempting as a solution to this problem, but in the long
run it is more trouble than it is worth.
