The html strip_tags() function permits any attributes. This gives a
security hole. Eg allowing <b> also permits:

<b onclick="javascript.document.location='http://www.evil.com';">

That's not so nice !

Context: I run a website in which I want to allow (untrusted) users to
post messages formatted with a very limited subset of html. I don't
want them to be able to do anything nasty.

I am aware that this may not really be a bug per se, and might be
better as a new string function ('vanilla_tags'). But it could bite the
unwary.

Thanks a lot

Richard
