 I've been setting up a blog for the European Patent Office lately, on
 http://blog.epo.org, and got a rather distressed call just now, because in
 a post they'd written, the text "8)" had been converted into a smiley.
 Simple enough to get rid of, by unchecking the default functionality for
 that on Settings -> Writing.

 It did make me think though: this feature should NOT be on by default
 anymore, WordPress as a platform has gotten past that in my opinion.
 Agree?
