Alpha transparency wasn't working with maptext.

This issue has been resolved.
Alpha doesn't seem to affect maptext(if the alpha is in the HTML, not the actual atom.alpha variable)

Example:
maptext = "<font color = [rgb(255,255,255,100)]>Transparency is not working."
I believe this is a combination of our sanitization and the client. Should be fairly straightforward to fix.
I have something setup to allow this from the server end for sanitization. We'll see about getting this into the client itself.
