Very cool.  I'll give a look at the latest HTML mode to see what all is 
involved with updating that PHP mode I was working on.  I assumed that both 
modes would have gotten the same tweak, so I only looked at the PHP one.

So far, thankfully, the cheesey trick of leaving off the closing bracket of 
the script tag has actually worked okay for my stuff.  It would be nice to 
have it done "correctly" though.
