Trying to understand the purpose of your code. This:
str(XML(request.vars['submitted_tags'],sanitize=True)).lower().split(',')
If you use XML I assume submitted_tags contains valid XML/HTML. But then
you split it. So
"<div>one, two</div>" withh turn into ["<div>one"," two</div>"]. What is
the purpose of all of this?
