Shocking omission in the Kepler platform

[Matt Campbell <mattcampbell@...>]

I was shocked to learn that none of the packages in the Kepler platform 
contains a function to escape special characters in HTML, i.e. to 
replace '<', '>', and '&' with "&lt;", "&gt;", and "&amp;", 
respectively.  I suppose the most logical place to put such a function 
would be in CGILua.  This is especially surprising given that CGILua is 
apparently one of hte oldest packages in the Kepler platform, going back 
to Lua 3.2.  It begs the question:  How much serious web development has 
actuallly been done using Kepler in general and CGILua in particular?
