    initial v1  
    2424> this is a practical matter about whether we want to eliminate security vulnerabilities and content breakage by providing a spec-compliant HTML parser in Core. this system eliminates knowingly-naive and faulty string replacements and regular expressions that constantly cause grief and damage WordPress' reputation. as long as people are processing HTML on the server I'd rather have a reliable system than a fundamentally-flawed one.

    26 If the intent here was to only replace existing cases of manipulating HTML in PHP, I'd be +1000 for it. However as far as I see the intent is to keep adding more and more codethat does this. In core and by plugins. Despite that most (all?) agree this is not the best way to do things :(
