Making chat clients smarter is undoubtedly a good idea. I think though that ZZamboni's idea is a better solution as it will fix everybody's script all at once.
An added benefit is that if at some point in the future, someone else writes a script similar to your's, then they wouldn't have to add this logic, because the site already does it. It just seems like a cleaner solution to me.
My vote: make it a feature of the site.

Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted
itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord,
singing "Subtle plans are here again!"
