Why would you side with:

<p>4 > 5</p>

over:

<p>4 &gt; 5</p>

That seems like a rather bad idea.

Anyone know if there's any support to verify whether the HTML and URLs
are safe -- in the sense that they aren't JavaScript hacks or image
insertions or the such?

This would be useful if using *Cloth in a web-application where you
might want to severely restrict the kind of HTML that can get used.

Thanks,
Navin.
