Comment:
I'm +1 on the idea.
`fix_ampersands` and `clean_html` have been in Django since the beginning
and I'm guessing that they were made for a very specific use-case at World
Online but I don't believe they have their place inside a generic web
framework.
As an argument, here's `clean_html`'s docstring, explaining what it does
exactly:
{{{
Clean the given HTML. Specifically, do the following:
* Convert <b> and <i> to <strong> and <em>.
* Encode all ampersands correctly.
* Remove all "target" attributes from <a> tags.
* Remove extraneous HTML, such as presentational tags that open and
immediately close and <br clear="all">.
* Convert hard-coded bullets into HTML unordered lists.
* Remove stuff like "<p> </p>", but only if it's at the
bottom of the text.
}}}
