OK, fair point, except that the earning it is done by content folks - it's us that does
the work in tidy. Unless of course, we start knocking back badly formatted job posts...

The field is on that URL, which you can't see presumably because you're not logged in.

Well I disagree, but as
1) the content is stored on the db, and only cleaned on render
2) Admin have an over-ride on the article filter style
this isn't entirely precluded - admin can set the filter style for the article to not
filtering it out, and hey presto, it works.

Which is in line with the code guide:
"If it is necessary for an article, we may leave it, and most likely will edit it.
Otherwise, all submissions with any client-side scripting will have it removed."

Cheers
