So the general consensus would seem to be "forgeddabowdit".
I wondered if that would be the result, but I'm surprised that there
isn't a workaround -- only because almost everything else that I thought
would be impossible some clever person has found a way to do.
To join with Andrew Maben, however, I'd be curious to know whether
spambots decode encoded entity text, eg:
'user'
becomes
'user'
(ignore quote marks).
I assume that they can read them perfectly easily -- browsers can, after
all -- but it'd be good to know for sure.
Same question for screen readers.
