 * I have modified the `$allowedtags-array` in kses.php, but my added elements still
   get stripped from the comments :-/
 * What do I have to do to allow more elements?
 * regards,
    Johannes

 * See if adding your elements to the `valid_elements` list found within `wp-admin/
   admin-header.php` makes a difference.

 * My apologies. Ignore my suggestion. kses.php is the place. Did you clear your
   cache before trying out your new element additions?

 * Hmpf, seems it is the X-Valid plugin, so I have to disable it. Now I’m searching
   a plugin:
