HTML exploits in the YP

Just thinking out loud here, looking for input.

It came to my attention just a while ago that if you put HTML-code in such things as station name, song name etc. it'll do funny things when it's loaded into winamp's "online media" directory.

Right now there's a station showing their song in giant letters with some <font> code in the title.

What do you guys think about this? It could be fun to personalize your humble slot in the YP with some color, or maybe a graphic if that's possible. But of course, as with anything, excessive use would make browsing the YP a truly painful experience.

And how does this fit into the usage policy? Is this sort of thing even allowed? I noticed the aforementioned station had put some javascript in there, which could be a security risk if executed. For some reason, though, it wasn't.

Someone has hacked it. It's been reported now we sit and wait.
