Note to the implementors: Change some/most of the xml tickers
to not update the "Other Users" list. Ones to change
include private message xml ticker, and XP xml ticker.
If you, for example, don't change chatterbox xml ticker,
then chat clients could allow the user to toggle whether
fetches of that page use the cookie or not: if such fetches
don't use the cookie, then the user won't show unless they
talk; if such fetches do use the cookie, then the user
shows up constantly. Thus /away becomes a client
problem^Wfeature to implement and not a server one.

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).
