Comment (by dd32):

 What about if you've added a `<strong>` tag to a phrase you want to add
 emphasis to? Should we strip that too?

 We allow trusted users with the `unfiltered_html` capability to post HTML
 in titles, and I'm not sure why we should apply a more strict sanitization
 to the Recent Posts widget vs the article titles.

 What's your use-case for stripping HTML from the widget vs articles?
