Update: This issue is now resolved, nothing to see here, move along. I am seriously considering whether or not raising this issue in the way that I did was an over-reaction.
A homenode containscontained JavaScript that automatically posts a fixed message text both to the Chatterbox and to the user himself. A number of people have objected to homenode buttons that post to the CB, but I believe that, in addition to those concerns, this is disruptive to the CB. One person posts "PhilHibbs snoops round Ctrl-zs homenode", a few CB lurkers wonders what's so interesting, and soon the conversation that is going on is scattered with a handful of the same message.
I mentioned to the user that I don't think that this is acceptable a couple of weeks ago.
Update: Apparently this is what the "Disable some JavaScript on homenodes" user setting is for, which I have now reluctantly turned on, but this shouldn't be necessary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
