Yes yes yes, but anyone who doesn't stop to think that anything in an
HTML document shouldn't be escaped is crazed... and if you think that
not everything can be escaped your also crazed.... old unexcaped tags
such as <LISTING> and <XMP> are technically gone now... they should not
be used, because everyone had relized that it is more than possible to
escape imported documents..
