Hi All,

I've taken out the basic and restrictive JavaScript sanitation I had used for bio and comments earlier, and provided a sanitizeHtml method in the MashupUtils class which actually wraps AntiSamy (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_AntiSamy_Project) a profile based HTML sanitation tool, which is BSD licensed.

This was pretty much the best sanitation tool I found out there with the features and license we need. All the dependant jars it added to our distro are apache licensed, but it does add 3 jars, along with it's own code, for a total of 468K. Seems pretty big just to sanitize HTML, but with AntiSamy we (and any ultimate user), can change the policy XML file in the config directory to make the sanitation as open or as paranoid as necessary.

If the increase in download size seems too large and the solution seems to be an overkill, we can actually remove AntiSamy and implement our own Java based logic in the sanitizeHtml method, but I personally would prefer to stay with this.

Bye,
Channa.
