Re: [PHP Template] A suggestion

html escaping should work for XML also, so long as it uses character entities.
For plain ascii, why would they want to escape?  Anyway, the attribute should
probably be called "htmlescape" instead of escape. Actually, more useful would be
escape="html|xml|url", and equivalent unescape="html|xml|url".  There are
probably some other escape types that would be good too.

thinking as I type...
