List,

    I'm glad to announce that w3af can now detect 100% of the XSS
vulnerabilities in WAVSEP!

    As part of the "Improve w3af's score for WAVSEP XSS by at least
20%" [0] task, I completely rewrote (twice) the context detection
engine originally developed by Taras. The new engine has the following
improvements:

    * Code is easier to read
    * Context detection false positive is reduced (But can still be
improved by migrating from HTMLParser to lxml)
    * Added JavaScript sub-parser
    * Added CSS sub-parser

    I've also added new payloads to the XSS plugin which were required
to "break out" of the new contexts we're identifying.

    These changes are part of the "develop" branch, just switch to the
branch using "git checkout develop" and enjoy the new features (bug
reports are always welcome!).

    For those who love to read code, you'll find most of the changes here [1]

    Enjoy!
