Comment:

 I've just uploaded a slightly modified version of your patch. (removed the
 strip_tags() call as it becomes useless.)

 There is a genuine bug in there before any of it can be committed. If you
 create * foo'bar<foo" * foo<bar> * '"bar"<foo<bar>' as a tag, that tag can
 be added in the post editor using the autocomplete, but it then won't
 display correctly in the tag editor.

 a few checks to run with * foo'bar<foo" * foo<bar> * '"bar"<foo<bar>':

  - can it be added as a post category/does it display correctly in the
 editor? in the post?
  - can it be added as a post tag with/without autocomplete/does it display
 correctly in the editor? in the post?
  - can it be added as a link category/does it display correctly in the
 editor? in the links widget?
