I don't program PHP -- so take this with a grain of salt.

But I would be wary of pulling in a full-fledged XML machinery just to
edit (pure) PHP source just because it is sometimes embedded in (X)HTML
templates. And I would be --uh-- rather uneasy being told this to be
"imaginary problems".

As an analogy, I'm regularly irked by reglar GNU/Linux distros
installing Avahi-this or Evolution-that just because I want a music
player or a task calendar. I try to avoid those packages which pull
in half-a-world of stuff I don't need.

Just (half) a data point.
