Comment(by QuLogic):

 Replying to [comment:15 elb]:
 > It looks to me like the whole purpose of this plugin is to handle MSN's
 ill-conceived username markup language; this is something which should
 properly be handled by the MSN protocol plugin.  Perhaps a signal should
 be emitted from the MSN protocol plugin to the effect of msn-buddy-parse-
 markup, with a default implementation of simply stripping these codes from
 the nickname.

 This is not technically part of the MSN protocol. It is part of
 [http://www.msgplus.net/ Messenger Plus!], which hacks on various things
 like coloured nicks, skins, funky logs, and who knows what else.
