[wp-testers] Posting via XMLRPC loses the author information

[Robert Deaton]

I believe that the newest version of kses that WordPress uses is now
filtering any tags that it does not recognize as valid HTML/XHTML.
This would explain the problem with it stripping the <tag>s from the
posts, as far as XML-RPC information, I haven't messed with that
lately, but someone else may know.
