That might be ok for natural language, i.e. unformatted text. But input boxes
are also used for things that do have some sort of machine-understood syntax,
and the software that parses what the user has entered may not support these
characters. For this reason, adding formatting characters to the control values
is the last thing that I would want to happen.
