After a flamewa^W talk on xsf@, we have evocated the fact the formatting
characteres could be always displayed (with a "MUST" not a "SHOULD"). That
would make the thing a bit more acceptable to my eyes as we could then safely
ignore the XEP.
The issue then is escaping characteres, they should be removed.
As an exemple which could lead to big trouble, imagine a shell@ MUC room with
somebody pasting this code to explain something:
ls `date +%Y-%m-%d`-*.xml
If some clients remove formating characteres, this would lead to some people
not seeing the correct command (except if we force to keep formatting
characters, then it will just be ugly :D ).
I still really dislike the fact that rendering of text body could be different
accross clients.
On other important point mentionned by jnanar, is that formatting data in text
could be a really bad thing for accessibility (thing about page readers).
