Just to let you know about an alternative, at the same time Brad Chaote wrote this plugin L.M.Orchard had the same idea and wrote this 0decafbad MTCleanHTMLPlugin. I only installed the last one and thinks it works good!

Very neat! EXTREMELY easy install!!

One of the things I like about it – is it doesn't actually remove those tags from the comment itself – it just won't write it to your page. So, in the examle that's often seen here – people putting PHP code in and forgetting to "ascii-ize" it – it just makes it so the pages doesn't break – but I can still go on change the appropriate characters to ascii and make it so the code shows…

I added that plug-in yesterday after I saw it on your LoveLinks blog… I never thought about malicious code in the comments, but I do recall some experiences where code had been added and never showed up the email notification so I didn't realize there was code in the comments until I saw it on the actual comment page. I'm very grateful for this plug-in, even if my comment scale is fairly low — better to be prepared than regretful later on!
