Ta, I think that’s needed for the discussion. One issue here is that I think 
Sam’s argument is that it’s 
1) too tempting, for whatever reason, when you have a chunk of HTML you want to 
render to dump it straight into .innerHTML or such without sanitisation
2) fundamentally impossible to put a sufficient amount of verbiage into 
XHTML-IM to mitigate this inclination
3) not acceptable that we have a spec that leads, through this temptation, to 
people injecting straight into the DOM

This leads me to wonder whether the replacement is going to go something like:

A) There’s a new spec that says *something* should render something in bold
B) Devs implement this by converting *something* into <b>something</b>
C) Devs now have a chunk fo HTML that they want to render
D) See (1)
E) See (2)
F) See (3)
