Dear Steffen Kluge,

This is old news reported long time ago by ben moeckel (ben.moeckel at
online.de), see http://www.security.nnov.ru/advisories/content.asp

9. Bypassing filters with special characters

  There  are some characters client application may ignore silently. For
  Example, for HTML browsers:

  0, 9, 10, 13, 173 for Opera
  13, 10, 9, 0 for Internet Explorer

  by inserting characters with this codes into document it's possible to
  hide some dangerous tags from content filter.
