* Large chunks of code related to (X)HTML validation have been moved to `r2.lib.souptest` * Moved from a SAX-based validator to iterating over every node in the document fragment. This was done for performance reasons, and because lxml doesn't expose comments via its SAX interface unless you use Python 3 * We now raise a descriptive exception if we didn't recognize an entity, and return a 400 in the validator rather than raising the exception up the chain * Fixed a few filter bypasses: using CDATA sections, conditional comments, and processing instructions. * Added unit tests to ensure future souptest changes don't introduce security issues This goes hand-in-hand with https://github.com/reddit/snudown/pull/61 to reduce the number of spurious `SyntaxError`s that end up in the applogs.
