Surely there can be no real justification for them to do JS which you do not
provide as a developer?

Its what the client demanded and based on their needs it was a
justifiable request.

By 'draconian' I meant that the protection is applied to all form
inputs, regardless of user authentication or anything else you as a
developer want to throw into the mix.  Throwing a complete blanket
over everything without regard to allowing individual exceptions is
where I have a problem.

By all means protect yourself from XSS, but I disagree with a system
that doesn't allow you to bypass the rules as a developer if there's a
good reason to do so.
