 Replying to [comment:14 afercia]:

 > I'd argue that I'm not sure core should allow to "add any HTML" within
 the meta box headings.

 I agree, however, I don't know if preventing that is feasible. I don't
 know how these plugins are adding the HTML, but I'd assume its by
 accessing the global `$wp_meta_boxes`.

 Because that is a global variable, there's no reasonable way from
 preventing any plugin from changing. To prevent changing of headers would
 require a major change to how meta boxes logic works. That's not out of
 the question, but it would be a large undertaking for the purpose of...
 preventing plugins from changing core?
