Why even us it? I find very seldom do I need it. And it does add

I use it on all my sites because in that way, I can perfectly indent my code but take out the 100s or even 1000s of spaces/tabs.

For all my sites, I make a login and when the person is logged in (i.e. me the administrator), the page is produced with spaces so that I can analyse the code.

I like writing xhtml strict with real simple xhtml that is compressed (i.e. without spaces) so that the actual pages are super small. I do this to protest against the dreamweavers out there, who create html that is often over 100kb and just pollutes the superhighway with endless &nbsp; <td><img src="spacer.gif">etc......

You can write perfectly good xml or html without obstart(). The two have nothing to do with each other.

But compressing a page then expanding it just to make the code more readable doesn't make sense. Just expand it in the file and serve it statically. There's much less overhead.

I think the only time I've really needed obstart() is when I wanted to wrap phpinfo() in another page. In that case I needed to get the output, parse it, getting rid of the extra tags, then print it.
