html in welcome widget

[PerS]

I suggest that the welcome widget is changed so we can use html in it.

To do this, in bp-core-widgets.php, bp_core_widget_welcome_control()
change

$newoptionstext = strip_tags( stripslashes( $_POSTbp-widget-welcome-text ), '<img>' );

to

$newoptionstext = stripslashes(wp_filter_post_kses( $_POSTbp-widget-welcome-text ));

Any thoughts on this from the developers? I could probably fix this if it's in line with what the developers want.
