Doood... this really has nothing to do with measurements and everything to 
do with escaping text based on its output medium.  You should be wrapping 
ALL output variables in HTMLEditFormat when outputting something in HTML 
that can contain arbitrary characters.  This is the kind of stuff XSS is 
made of.  Imagine a well placed value that went something like this:

"> <script>alert('I have complete control of this webpage');</script>
