Thanks for all the replies.
Why then would Allaire allow tags in their developers gallery that do
exactly the same thing I am trying to do? Weatherchannel.com allows users to
place their information on your site, since they have a service that does
this for you. I see nothing wrong if I give them credit and link to them
like it does with their subscription.

help strip out unwanted characters. There are probably great examples of
this in the tags you mentioned that are in the Tag Gallery. And looks like
Brian has posted a good start for you.
