 extremely cool functionality.

 We're saving people from themselves. It's not "crippled" as you call it,
 it's just limited to a whitelist so the novice user doesn't screw
 themselves over.

 If a user happened to paste the URL to something on my blog on it's own
 line and unhyperlinked, I could easily make that URL turn into a bit of
 code that'd steal their login cookies without them ever knowing. Then I'd
 have full access to their blog.
