Is there any way I can talk someone into implementing Jon's HTML-filter
on the Tomcat Dev list? AFAIK there were no objections to the idea
itself. Does someone with the appropriate access (Pier, Craig, Jon?)
maybe have a few minutes to look into it? Granted it's not an urgent
priority, but it sounds like something that would be quick and easy to
implement, especially since Jon's been running it on the Turbine lists.
Pretty please ... I'll dance at your wedding =)
