Comment #6 on issue 2217 by [email protected]: HTML extensions to String.prototype shouldn’t escape ', < and > in argument values; only "
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2217
Since String.prototype.link etc. are not part of ECMA-262 and escaping "<", ">" and "'" won't cause any harm, I don't see why this change is necessary.
It’s necessary for interoperability with other engines, once they fix their bugs.
