I wouldn't be surprised if chat automatically escape any html tags to prevent you being able to insert things like script tags which can run malicious code on anyone in chat. Or rather, I'd hope whoever designed chat thought of that.

Whilst I agree it's likely possible, the security concerns outweigh the potential benefits.
