Comment (by celloexpressions):

 A rich text control is a good idea. Footer credits seem like the best
 initial use case, with a related theme support feature. Themes should be
 able to set defaults, a portion of which would typically be theme-
 specific. As a result, this probably needs to be a `theme_mod`, not an
 `option` (at least for the custom text option). Using a rich text control
 for footer credits would necessitate a dynamic "year" placeholder to be
 functional for a majority of sites.

 The tagline should remain a plain text control, since it is used in title
 tags and elsewhere in themes and plugins.
