Sometimes I get caught up in trying to communicate an idea and I end up taking for granted what people may or may not know. I'm all for clarification. Not a problem!

The reason to encode is only to make sure the code is functional, and is not the slightest bit nefarious. If you do not encode it, the form will not function properly and visitors will only see junk. The resulting code does look like a jumbled mess, but that is what needs to be copy/pasted. The jumbled mess, once pasted, will read correctly in HTML. No decoding is needed.

Is it merely to avoid breaking the input code, or for some other nefarious reason? And when you say, "your web developer shouldn't have a problem implementing the concept", does the developer have to unencode first? Is that the "implementation" aspect? Or is it still just copy/paste, regardless of the fact that it looks like a jumbled mess? After all, someone may not have a web developer at their beck and call. I'm actually already clear on the answers to these questions, but I can see how the questions would likely be important to non-developers.
