the usual question in brackets? If there was a special sequence to announce the unusual case (i.e. the smiley), I think less people would complain about having unwanted conversions ...


I thought also about that, but people who are use to bulletin boards or instant messaging have the common knowledge that a ;) gives a smiley, not a \;). While it would work with the smiley button, which could insert anything, the "other" half of the people who are used to the standard smileys would complain. So I hope that ?-) is acceptable by both sides.
