The Zotonic HTML sanitizer is used to remove any "dangerous" HTML.
As such it rejects all scripts, funny css extra's, object-tags etc. etc.
It also removes anything it doesn't know (ie. white list based).

And it rebalances the elements, so that the output is well formed.

We use it to process all incoming HTML from tinyMCE.

Have to think about anger etc, do they work well with external dependencies (like MochiWeb)?
