It is still defined as constant, just like NULL.
(zend_constants.c:117 : true/false constants)
THough you can argue
that it's better to see it as being a special keyword.

It is a constant in the sense that its value never changes.
And, though layout shouldn't be an issue when it comes to xml, I like
the makeup op <constant> better in case of values like true...

So, I'm still in favor of <constant>. Thats 1 contra, 1 pro.
