What are the potential issues with using short-open tags in PHP, as mentioned in the forum thread?

The potential issues with using short-open tags in PHP include compatibility issues with servers that do not have short tags enabled, and conflicts with XML declarations. To solve this issue, it is recommended to use the full `<?php` opening tag instead of the short `<?`. 

&lt;?php
// Code that previously used short-open tags should be updated to use full opening tags
echo &quot;Hello, world!&quot;;
?&gt;
