===About this project===
This parser strips down all potentially dangerous content within HTML:
  * opening tag without its closing tag 
  * closing tag without its opening tag 
  * any of these tags: "base", "basefont", "head", "html", "body", "applet", "object",
    "iframe", "frame", "frameset", "script", "layer", "ilayer", "embed", "bgsound",
    "link", "meta", "style", "title", "blink", "xml" etc.
  * any of these attributes: on*, data*, dynsrc
  * javascript:/vbscript:/about: etc. protocols
  * expression/behavior etc. in styles
  * any other active content

It also tries to convert code to valid HTML, but htmltidy is far better solution for this task.

  * Class rewritten under PEAR coding standards.
  * Class now uses unmodified HTMLSax3 from PEAR.
  * To the list of table tags added: "caption", "col", "colgroup".
1.2.1.
  * It was possible to create XSS with hexadecimal HTML entities. Fixed. Big thanks to Christian Stocker.
1.2.0.
  * "id" and "name" attributes added to dangerous attributes list, because malefactor can broke legal javascript by spoofing ID or NAME of some element.
  * New method parse() allows to do all parsing process in two lines of code. Examples also updated.
  * New array, closeParagraph, contains list of block-level elements. When we open such element, we should close paragraph before. . It allows SafeHTML to produce more XHTML compliant code.
  * Added "webcal" to white list of protocols for those who uses calendar programs (Mozilla/iCal/etc).
  * Now SafeHTML strips down table elements when we are not inside table.
  * Now SafeHTML correctly closes unclosed "li" tags: before opening "li" of the same nesting level.
1.1.0.
  * New "dangerous" protocols: hcp, ms-help, help, disk, vnd.ms.radio, opera, res, resource, chrome, mocha, livescript.
  * <XML> tag was moved from "tags for deletion" to "tags for deletion with content".
  * New "dangerous" CSS instruction "include-source" (NN4 specific).
  * New array, Attributes, contains list of attributes for removal. If you need to remove "id" or "name" attribute, just add it to this array.
  * Now it is possible to choose between white-list and black-list filtering of protocols. Defaults are "white-list".
  This list is: "http", "https", "ftp", "telnet", "news", "nntp", "gopher", "mailto", "file".
  * For speed purposes, we now filter protocols only from these attributes: src, href, action, lowsrc, dynsrc, background, codebase.
  * Opera6 XSS bug ([\xC0][\xBC]script>alert(1)[\xC0][\xBC]/script> [UTF-8] workarounded.
