This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.

There is no check in phpcs for additional spaces before tags. I will add that in also, just not as part of this specific bug, which was caused by a general comment parsing error.
