Should PyPI support HTML in the long_description field? The current implementation tries to pass the long_description to docutils, with the settings raw_enabled=0, file_insertion_enabled=0, halt_level=2, report_level=5. If parsing fails, it will wrap the long_description with a <PRE> element.
As a side effect of that, HTML in long_description seems to work, but it isn't really supported. Which way should PyPI go: escape all markup if ReST rendering fails? Or else allow arbitrary HTML to be embedded? I'm worried that somebody would create a cross-site attack out of that...
