In this particular situation I'm dealing with I only have web browsers to
worry about.
However, for the sake of argument: couldn't I still allow those styling tags
and do some post-processing in the code? Such as stripping the tags, or
converting them to something else. Things like bold and italic are almost
universally meaningful.
