Description:
------------
It's a little hard to execute php files when you're missing ?> at the end of the file.

Test script:
---------------
?>

Expected result:
----------------
It runs.

Actual result:
--------------
Doesn't run.

What? I thought it was pretty self explanatory. These are the files specifically which have NO closing PHP tag ( ?> ) on 1.4.6:

Human.php
Span.php
TimeZone.php

If they're not necessary, why were they there in previous versions of those templates and for that matter, why are they in the other templates? Seems like lazy programming to me.

So why not avoid white characters at the end of the file? They were also there in previous versions, why were they taken out? At any rate, I can't find any documentation that specifically says that the ending tag is optional:

Never mind. I found it: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation.php

Ok, in this case, at least be consistent and not include it in the calc.php file.
