Apologies for following-up my own post, but I just realised the answer to my own
question.
I think I am correct that strip_tags assumes any '<' character to be the
beginning of a tag - but this doesn't actually matter, since the input string
should be HTML encoded anyway, so all '<' characters should be escaped as '<'
- so all actual '<' characters will indeed be tags :-)
So I wasn't wrong, but it's not as crap and useless as I thought!
