Oooh! ooh! I want to weigh in on this one, too!
For me, it is all a matter of *consistency*
As long as everything is coded the same way within an application or group
of related scripts, subtle variations like the ones you note are
unimportant.
When more than one coder is working on a project is when problems arise
with style. *Talk* to each other! Come to a consensus, and try to stick
to it.
And on your first point, about the dropping out of PHP to print HTML, I
think that goes to consistency. If the original coder has done that for
all blocks of HTML, then that is a good reason to stick with that style,
even if it is less legible out of context. But the context is important,
and if it is constent with the rest of the app, then it is, IMO,
acceptable coding style.
later...
