I'm trying to put a <span> into the "Site Description" (the thing that gets displayed in the top right on the default theme), but it converts the "<" to a "& lt ;" and the ">" to a "& gt ;".
I think this is a good thing to have, but as this is a personal site, I'm fully capable encoding things as I see fit. Does anyone know how to stop WordPress from encoding special characters?

I'm probably stating the obvious but it seems like something you will accomplish with write a specific filter, possibly to wptexturize()

Close, but not quite straight forward.
