Entering something like <script>alert('test')</script> in both the title and
content fields will mean the javascript will be executed when the page loads.
Given than many Roller setups allow effectively anonymous people to setup a
blog, that seems just as serious as HTML in comments.
(Also, shouldn't all HTML be stripped from the title in all circumstances, too?
At the moment <h1>title</h1> works)

Subject: Re: XSS in Roller
What do you mean? Do you have an example of an XSS attack on Roller? I
believe it's only possible if you allow HTML in comments. And even
that is sanitized to only allow certain elements.
