wow, interesting, that so few seem interested.
default_escape is IMHO the solution against XSS.
since i know it i don't want to miss it. it's so comfortable to
create templates while knowing that you can't forget to html-escape. at the same time you often stumble across embarrassing
XSS issues on other pages, and you can be sure that this very
probably won't happen to you.
so why seem most of the TT users here not to be interested? what do you do to prevent XSS reliably?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
