Gaim has had this implemented since 0.62, and i've been tweaking it ever
since.  Since we started out as an AIM client, we still use a pitiful
excuse for HTML for internal markup, and have to accept what people type
themselves.  That said, I wrote a horribly hackish function to take the
assorted crap that people come up with, and turn it into valid XHTML-IM.  

It seems to be getting the job done, although I've heard reports of iffy
interoperability with old old versions of JabberIM (i think), which
expects an extra <br /> on the end of everything.  Other than that, no
complaints so far.
