Does anyone remember why the unicode escapes get applied to the Leo log?

This is a follow up on the thread:
Redirected stdout and stderr contains &nbsp characters
http://groups.google.com/group/leo-editor/browse_thread/thread/3f91f7234728161d

At present, the qtLog.put method contains the following code:

     s=s.replace('&', '&amp;').replace('<', '&lt;').replace('>',
'&gt;')
     if not self.wrap: # 2010/02/21: Use &nbsp; only when not
wrapping!
        s = s.replace(' ','&nbsp;')
     s = s.rstrip().replace('\n','<br>')

The code appears to work without this, and all unit tests pass without
it, but I suspect there is a reason for it :-)  Perhaps a plugin
diddles the log?

bzr blame says leo_haq is responsible for a change to the first line,
but this is ancient code so it's not so easy to say where it first
arose.

Does anyone know for sure why this code exists?
