I agree, but the choice not to offend people is already a part of Wikipedia convention: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Profanity
My motivation for developing a solution that caters to end-users comes from not wanting to get caught in the same drift net that is already being cast.

What's so bad about offending people?
Why is it something to avoid?
A reader who can open up the book of human knowledge to any page at all, and be certain not to be offended, has no need for an encyclopedia.
