What the people are doing 16 years later is using XHTML/HTML5 in a site that has a HTML 4.01 document type.
The legacy support you claim looks like it would break for some people if that keeps up.
That is one reason why people started to use BBcode 17 years ago, post would be portable to HTML changes and it would be harder for people to misuse HTML.
But If I listened to you. Then everything is all good and I'm dumb. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
