Now I understand what you’re getting at. I still find it not a good idea to 
remove the meta-characters even with opt-out, because sending programs not 
aware of XEP-XXXX Styling don’t know they have to opt-out, and thus their 
messages might still be mis-represented. To allow removal of meta-characters, 
opt-in is mandatory IMO.

kind regards,
Jonas
