 use HTML in each post's body but not its title?  That's rather arbitrarily
 restrictive, don't you think?

 in the post body is a) restricted to certain privileged users and b)
 heavily filtered. It's one thing to allow body text to have tags like em
 and strong and such, but it's another to allow them in post titles and
 then have to deal with all the hassle of filtering them and dealing with
 the weird permalink issues that it would probably cause.

 I think including XML or HTML sounds good in theory, but I don't think it
 is a problem currently worth solving.
