      <para> 
       The closing tag of a PHP block at the end of a file is optional, 
-      and in some cases omitting it is helpful when using output buffering and 
-      <function> include</function> or <function>require</function>.
+      and in some cases omitting it is helpful when using <function> include</function>
+      or <function> require</function>, so unwanted whitespace will
+      not occur at the end of files, and you will still be able to add
+      headers to the response later. It is also handy if you use output
+      buffering, and would not like to see added unwanted whitespace
+      at the end of the parts generated by the included files.
