Comment:
Adding some detail after the last post, since you're looking at it David.
There was a discussion (with various folks from html5lib, and Mozilla, and
...) about whether html5lib could be put on a better footing.
I'm not sure how that panned out in the medium term. (I didn't check what
the rhythm looks like now.)
There was alternate talk about whether bleach (or an alternate) could
build off `html5ever` which is the HTML parser from the Mozilla servo
project.
* https://github.com/servo/html5ever
* https://github.com/SimonSapin/html5ever-python (Py03 bindings.)
That would be pretty cool, but it was clearly a lot of work, and then 2020
happened, so...
The other candidate in this space in Matthias' html-sanitizer:
https://github.com/matthiask/html-sanitizer — which is built on `lxml`.
That's just to lay down the notes I had gathered. I'm not sure the way
forward, but hopefully it's helpful.
Very open to ideas though! Thanks for picking it up.
