Filter to HTML Decode only certain HTML tags

Hi

I am looking for a clean way to scrub HTML encoded strings and display only certain tags back to the browser. I am thinking of using HttpUtility.HTMLEncode/Decode methods. My plan is to Encode any HTML input submitted via the browser. I want to display this output as HTML but want to guard against Cross Site scripting and hence only display certain tags (or not display certain tags). What is the cleanest way to do this? I was thinking of overriding the Decode method when displaying back to the browser. Please help
