 Some of my buddys use the > and < in their nick names. The logwriter
 writes out the nicks unescaped, so this results in malformed html. this
 appears in logged messages as well as in the html header. a sample log
 snippet is

 {{{
 <html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
 charset=UTF-8"><title>Conversation with >$teffi< at Sat 01 Aug 2009
