Re: option to turn ESCAPE=HTML on by default

hehe - then you haven't tried my version of H::T ...
I modified H::T so that it dynamically loads the appropriate escape 
module -> you simply do this:

package HTML::Template::ESCAPE::HTML_JS;
use HTML::Template::ESCAPE;
$HTML::Template::ESCAPE::HTML_JS::VERSION = '1.0';
sub output {
  my $self = shift;
  $_ = shift if (@_ > 0);
  ...blah...
  $_;
}

then save the file somewhere in your PERL5LIB directory list.
