If I did that too early then you could never put HTML into a comment, and if I do it too late then I break all of the HTML that is in a comment.
When I currently do it is the best time, but has the edge case that including both > and < (in the other order) may break the post. But then... I show you your post immediately after you make it, so figured that this edge case is minor, and you're shown when it occurs and can edit accordingly.

Yeah I thought you'd be sanitising the input, but wouldn't it be nicer to HTML encode "special" characters like that? Not a massive issue though tbh, the whole comment was there when I edited the post.
