The problem with this is, "how do you do it correctly?"

It's nice to allow people to include html, e.g. anchors to their home
pages' URLs, in PRs, and have them come out as real html on the Web.
In fact, i went to a great deal of work to fix things so that only
valid tags were allowed, etc...

But the question is: how can you tell 'intentional' html from
something that just looks like HTML?  (and, what impact does that have
on the software used to spit out PRs?)
