G'day Rolf,

Thanks for the feedback and various test examples.

I'll aim to reply to everything here to avoid instances of one of us posting while the other is composing (e.g. the nodes 11134079^link and 11134080^link). It also keeps everything together instead of bits scattered throughout the thread.

As far as I know, I've always used [...] without any problems or comment on this usage. I noted your test with [lanx] didn't generate an additional link in the title.

There are clearly inconsistencies between the rendering of titles on various pages: even a single node's title can look different when viewed in its thread or by itself.

Thanks for taking the time to commit a patch. Unfortunately, I get "Tough beans." (permission denied) so I can't comment further on that.

If the issues can't be easily resolved — due to code complexity, testing difficulties, etc. — perhaps a documentation page with basic instructions could at least help to avoid the problems. I'm thinking along the lines of: don't include markup; don't use entities; and so on.
