Because you don't really want a user to be able to enter their own (x)html and invalidate yours or worse, fuck up your layout.
Use htmlspecialcharacters() to neutralise any xhtml that the user enters but give them some "ad-hoc" tags to preform some basic formating.
That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.
