Comment:

 Hi ruckus, sorry you never got any direction on this one. That's a pretty
 old change you cite.

 I think force_balance_tags() definitely makes sense here, but I also
 understand why this could cause problems. Perhaps tag balancing could be
 made smarter to not catch angle brackets used in this way. I agree that
 moving this to a filter could be a good idea.
