Coming from an anonymonk, someone values their own self-importance, whereas my comment cuts to the issue of this having been suggested numerous times and talked into the ground just as many. I really couldn't care less about xp or whether my comments ruffle feathers that are used to being stroked. We do that often around here, so often in fact I felt the need to call attention to it.
I do not see any html tips on my form, still. This change should be the default; it's for new users, after all.
