I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

amp & and &
The title, and the preceding paragraph, was comprised of these characters (each of which is quoted):
"a" "m" "p" " " "&" " " "a" "n" "d" " " "&" "a" "m" "p" ";" "a" "m" "p" ";"
Submitted as "HTML Formatted" without previewing.

<p>I've still got some more ideas up my sleeve, but lack the time at the moment to pursue them. I hope I might have some time in the next few days to try more.
<p>These are the variables to permute:
<0l>
<li>Characters under test: ampersand, less-than, greater-than, quote, and a sampling of UTF-8 1-octet chars, UTF-8 2-octet chars, UTF-8 3-octet chars, UTF-8 4-octet chars.
<li>Character representation: literal character, named character entity, decimal numeric character entity, hexadecimal numeric character entity
<li>Text location: (all places where user input is permitted) story submission title, story submission text, story dept. (e.g. from the hyphenated-words dept.), story text, story extended text area, comment title, comment text, comment reply title, comment reply text, journal article title, journal article text, journal comment title, journal comment text, journal comment reply title, journal comment reply text, poll text, poll comment, nickname .sig text, anything else??)
<li>Story submission / comment submission format: "Plain Old Text", "HTML Formatted", "Extrans (html tags to text)", and "code"
<li>Text viewing location: on-line web page, e-mailed story, web message, RSS feed, Atom feed, "Authors page" (http://dev.soylentnews.org/authors.pl)
<li>Preview count: how many times a user has previewed a story submission or [journal|story] comment prior to submitting: 0, 1, 2 (preview has had some issues in the past)
</ol>
<p>If I have missed any user-visible input/output/modification location, please reply and let me know!

I think that covers it all but to be clear we're looking at output primarily because input shouldn't be filtered anymore.

Yes, indeed! I got distracted in trying to discover all the inputs/outputs that I failed to include the expected output. :/

Ugh. failed to preview and had a typo in specifying an ordered list as well as having submitted as "Code"; am resubmitting as "HTML Formatted".
It looks like it came through okay... I was waiting to see what the notification would look like. (I have this nick set up to notify me of any replies via the web.) Well done, fine sir!
