This is quite nice.  I'm poking around, looking to see how best to 
recover validation error info.

Two comments:

I added logging to my copy so that I could see what was being clobbered 
during sanitization. Might be worth including this by default.

I see that 'script' elements are deleted, as the yaml file makes no 
mention of that element.


Thanks for the nice work,
