That's a good point, but the algorithm for detection/flagging doesn't have to be what the grandparent post proposed. Maybe something like: strip all tags (leaving only the unstyled text) and check: - there shouldn't be a

I don't think that's a good reason for not including such a warning. "quite low" for a service with billions of users, can still allow for million of users who would benefit from seeing the warning.
