    phpReactor has recently been updated to eliminate several known cross-site
    scripting vulnerabilities.  Among these changes was to reduce the tags
    allowed in posts, profiles, etc. down to B, I, and FONT.  However, using the
    "STYLE" attribute, one can still defeat this:
    
    <b style="expression(alert(document.cookie))">
    
    This won't work on all browsers (IE runs it, though)
    
    "The reason the mainstream is thought
    of as a stream is because it is
    so shallow."
