The potential for devilment is pretty high even with filtering, it seems: MySpace are also pretty vigorous in removing Javascript from any text entered by the user. It’s worth reading the description of how the specific exploit was done over here: http://namb.la/popular/tech.html and asking yourself if something like that could get past your own (or Worpress’) filters.
