Interestingly enough, I have explained my opinion in the part of the 
post you have trimmed. On the other hand, things you mentioned are far 
from being useless. They introduce no intrinsical slowdown due to 
increased bandwidth consumation, nor potential security problems. They 
have no downsides I can possibly think of and have many advantages. They 
are useful. HTML on Usenet is not.
