While your tags seem harmless to me, I think that with every addition of allowed tags, the chance of introducing bugs increases (more code, more bugs, even in trivial cases like this).

In my opinion, this site is about content and not about markup, and for me the currently allowed tags are more than enough to express myself. I personally only use a few tags regularly (<code>,<p>,<ul>,<li>), so for me even decreasing the amount of allowed tags (with the goal of decreasing complexity) would be no problem.

Revisions of nodes can easily be marked as such, with an 'update'-paragraph, as many people do.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
