But does it really make sense?  Scrubbing *after* Markdown is cleaner, 
easier, consistent with the user experience you want, and contends 
directly with the goal of stripping unsafe tags.  This might be a case 
where the solution isn't a hack, but a concise description of the rules 
("Images and script will be stripped").  Plus you've got mandatory 
preview.  And these are only comments, anyhow.  [Just left one, 
btw.][1]

I won't elaborate; the considerations are obvious.  It's just that I 
sometimes get hung-up on doing things the hard way, and wish somebody 
would stop me when I do.
