Suggesting that specifically: 1. Sanitization be done using core sanitization functions(wp_kses, etc) 2. The code that returns relevant errors(URL not found, etc), be processed ahead of anything else. 3. The older code that duplicates the functionality of url_to_postid noted as FIXME be removed. If there really is another difference, that should be an enhancement to url_to_postid. This, combined with the enhancements in #34141, would allow moving toward improving linkback presentation(#32653), which is a long term goal.",enhancement,new,normal,,Pings/Trackbacks,,minor,,needs-patch needs-refresh needs-unit-tests,,
