The behavior gets several paragraphs of explicit mention in a rather common reference book. Not to mention the Camel itself explicitly covers the behavior it in its discussion on <> as well (p82, 3rd ed). Considering both of what would have to be considered the "standard reference books" on the language cover this behavior one would grant plausibility to the "It is documented. Duh!" crowd.
(Now that's not to say that I don't see where the "it shouldn't be on by default" crowd are coming from either, and agree that would be a "safer" default behavior; but it is doing just what it says on the tin . . .)
The cake is a lie.

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).
