<strike> was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and is not supported XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD or XHTML 1.1, so it shouldn't be allowed in comments, at least by default.

  • Keywords bg|2nd-opinion added

+1, but I'm marking with 2nd-opinion.

#2 @markjaquith

  • Keywords bg|commit added; bg|2nd-opinion removed
  • Milestone set to 2.1
  • Owner changed from anonymous to markjaquith
  • Priority changed from normal to low
  • Severity changed from normal to minor
  • Status changed from new to assigned

If it breaks XHTML 1.0 strict validation, we should axe it.

+1

The problem is del is both an inline and block level tag, and can seriously mess up page layouts if allowed.

Same problem with &lt;ins&gt; ... currently, you can't use &lt;ins&gt; as block level in WP.

Is the appropriate thing just to remove <strike> and not replace it with <del>?
