I don't see any harm having these added, and would very much like to see what they're like. They don't seem like things that would benefit the chat that much, though. However, they do look like advancements that'd help make communication in the chat room a bit better, such as using bold and italics to put emphasis on points rather than using capital letters for that purpose.

I wouldn't mind going through a test run with these, first, if we decide to implement them, to see how they work out. Some people I've seen are feeling uneasy about the whole idea, such as having people abuse some of these, so I think this'd be good to see how the users on the chat would use them. If they don't handle them well, we could perhaps propose a limit on how to use them. Either way, I support.
