No. The examples I'm looking at in the books only use the php tags
within the file. The only difference I can see with what I'm doing is
that they're using plain html (start and end with <html>...</html> and
I'm starting the doc with all the XHTML rigamarole:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

As I understand it, XHTML pages need to start exactly this way. (I'm
trying to be a good boy and use XHTML like "they" tell me to.)
