Which means you already do all the things tainting would try to force you to without the need to be bugged by it. Good for you but ... the fact that you decided to drive safely, slow down in villages and towns, etc. etc. etc. doesn't mean other people do not need to be forced to slow down. You would not notice there's a speed limit, because you already drive below without being told. Others need to be told.

BTW, default_escape => 'HTML'? What if the value needs to end up in some JavaScript? Or a URL?

Update: s/willages/villages/, thx marto.
