Re: RSS 2.0 textInput element

There are a number of RSS aggregators that strip FORM elements from html 
content (looks like about 35% of my small sample set). I was under the 
impression that this was for security reasons, but I can't find anything to 
back that up (other than that IE used to have a parsing bug in INPUT 
elements that would cause it to explode). Anyone know what the security 
implications are? Is it sensible or paranoid to strip FORM elements?

James
