If the raw entry gets past the blacklist, it must then only contain my
whitelist tags. e.g., the two examples you cited were caught by the
whitelist parser.

Ah, gotcha. That seems like a much better approach to me. But if the
whitelist's going to stop the submission, then why bother with a
blacklist at all?

Like I said above, First pass is thru the blacklist, which effectually
tells hackers to not bother and totally deletes the entry.

Also, it's possible that one of my non-techie users can unwittingly enter hack code. I want to make a big deal of it. My error messages says in red "Illegal code entered. It was not saved. Reenter your text without it." Remember, I show them the error segment so they know exactly what the problem is. There is also another msg which says to contact tech support with a link.
