Really?! Perfect. That's the answer I was hoping for. This section states is
clearly.

True, but I have found that get input variables will override anything that
happens to be in the url query. I find few instances where a get form makes
much sense anyway, other than filtering/searching.

Which begs the question htmlspecialcharacters or htmlentities. I err on the
side of caution, using a single escaping function, to be consistent, that
calls htmlentities with the appropriate character set and ENT_QUOTES.
