The build-in sanitize is not very efficient and is only able to filter out unwanted tags.
Sanitze goes a lot further. Most important feature is that it outputs valid html. For example, it you put a </div> in your note, it could mess up the page completely. Or a <STRONG> that is not ended in the note with </STRONG> will mess up things too. The dependency on ruby 1.8.6 is unfortunate though. I did not spot it. But when we migrate to rails3 (tracks 2.1?), we need ruby 1.9 I believe?

This sanitize thing seems like it's causing a lot of extra work for people. Reinier, why do we need the gem instead of Rails's built-in sanitize?

Since RedHat ship 1.8.5 with RHEL 5, a quick bit of googling was required.
