List, Taras, After finding a bug where the context detection for XSS was performing very poorly [0] (more than 3 minutes to run get_context on an HTML) I decided to work a little bit on it and improve it.
The performance improvement was amazing ;) The changes are well documented here [1][2] When I started running the test suite for context detection took 2.5 seconds, now after the performance improvements it takes 0.098 seconds! Not bad, huh? @Taras: Since you wrote that code in the first place you might be interested in taking a look at the improvements and correcting any mistakes I might have made. Thanks!
