Of course, this does not mean that I don't find it annoying as well, after
all, my last name has on umlaut-o in its native spelling.  However, the
actual problem here is security plus support problems.  The only way we
could solve it would be to request form input in UTF-8.  I am not sure that
works everywhere.  As far as HTML tags are concerned, as you noticed, that
is just stripped away, which is a pure security precaution as allowing HTML
layout could be used for all kinds of server abuse.
