Why is punctuation not allowed when posting questions on WikiAnswers?

The software that runs the site has problems with some punctuation in questions... like commas. We've got it on our list of improvements that we'd like to see. That's just a really long list, and it gets shuffled around a lot, so we're not sure when it will make it to the top.
WikiAnswers allows some forms of punctuation in questions, and almost all in the answers panel. You can copy in some (but not all) ASCII symbols, which will be displayed if they are part of the symbol set for this typeface.
*You can ask in the Feedback section of the Community Forums to get a current answer.
