If you can run your html string through PHP it's real easy --

function StringRemoveHTMLTags(baseStr as String) as String
    r = createObject("roRegex", "<[^<]+?>", "i")
    return r.replaceAll(baseStr, "")
end function

One issue with doing that is that it will match anything between less than and greater than signs - not necessarily a valid html tag.
<gasp>
But for the cheap man's solution it works.

If the source is valid HTML, the greater than and less than signs would be &lt; or &#60; HTML entities, not < or >.
Your solution is either recommending the developer proxy the html through PHP to strip the HTML or modify the original output, which I doubt they would prefer.
