           Summary: text-decoration:blink CSS should be disabled by the
                    parser
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified

The Mediawiki parser disables the nonstandard (but universally supported for
some brain-dead reason) <blink> tag, which is the right thing to do. However,
as you can verify from the provided diff, it does not disable the equivalent
CSS declaration text-decoration:blink. The result is that it's possible to make
obnoxious blinking text, which is not a net positive. I realize that there's a
possible syntactic problem with disabling <span> tags that contain a mix of
permissible and impermissible styles, but blinking is sufficiently obnoxious
that it's worth doing.
