If we're going to use links to automatically decode spoilered text, it's not clear to me why we can't still use rot13 for the spoilering, and just make it linked rot13.
I voted for 'quaint internet tradition', but I don't think it's all that quaint; it's a very practical Internet tradition.
I also thought linked rot13 would be nice, and put up a page, at rot13.ca, to do so conveniently:

Perfect. Easy to use, preserves markup, can be used on mobile devices/without and special hardware, all the information is preserved in the link, and it even has decoded hover-text.
Motion to make this the standard rot13 tool, I for one will start using it.
