We all know that only several HTML tags are allowed to be inserted within an article, mainly because of security and uniformity of its source text. However, I wonder why  tag isn't one of them &mdash; this tag is really useful when we design a web page.

Honestly, we can easily put external links by just copying-and-pasting them. The only difference I find between using wiki markup and using   tag is, the former gets several class attributes like ,   or  , while the latter does not, if you don't obviously mind to put it manually.

I know that we can mess a lot pages if we misuse this tag, but other tags like,   are eqally dangerous. Is the auto-added class really the only reason against allowing  tag? What do you guys think about it?
