Subject: wish: add option to turn escape=html on default
There should be an option to turn on "escape=html" by default, and then turn it off selectively with "escape=none" or another escaping option. This reduces vulnerability to XSS attacks and mirrors how "use strict / no strict" are recommended to be used. Mark
From: markstos [...] cpan.org
This idea was well received on the list, and patches and tests were submitted there to address the issue.
This is fixed in 2.8.
I don't know why RT reopened this - it really is fixed in 2.8, and it's better in 2.9 now that escape=none will work.
