Ok, they blocked you putting the HTML in the company name, but what about the director's name?

I mean, if it's your legal name, and there's a legal requirement that the names of company directors be published...

I feel like this would be the most effort ever put into making an org take a bug report seriously.

That's... really interesting. There's a catch-all in there, for anyone wondering.

Which makes me wonder why the Company Name rule was for "computer code". Why not just use the same "if we don't like it you can't have it" catch-all they're using for names?
