(Sorry for cross-posting, i'm afraid plone-users wasn't the right audience.)

We are concerned that inline images ("Data URIs") in richtext fields
might bloat our database.

We have a dexterity-based content type where the "text" field is currently zope.schema.Text, which doesn't do any filtering and relies on TinyMCE's JS to filter out bad stuff. However, users can click and drag an image from their desktop into the text field, and the browser (Safari on Mac) will store that as an image tag with a "data" in the "src" attribute. We don't want this. (We want a proper transform which is also active when JS is disabled.)

I googled for dexterity and HTML transform, and found plone.app.textfield [1] which stores a RichTextValue object which is transformed when its output method is called. safe_html from Products.PortalTransforms [2] filters data URIs since 2.0.7, but as this transform is applied on ouput, the image would still be stored and
pollute the database.

Is there a way to apply a transform before saving?
