Please, its Wordpress ! Those are the people that use eval() when
parsing input. I already have hacked a bit and will no doubt do
something about input as soon as my HTML5 theme based on sandbox is
ready. In the meantime, don't input this character in the comments, I've
not really thrilled to see that stuff implode.

Oh and btw, my own web app *will* reject input and / or normalize it
(whenever it is done, with which I mean: I first have to sort out some
issues with the database ...).
