Can't you just use it as 'external' function and write a binding for
it in .urp files?

So the point is that all problems are known by reading the .urp file?

So this discussion is about both: The urweb compiler and the HTML parser
you wrote to sanitize / verify that user typed well formed HTML?
Thus if a user wants to design his newsletter for a shop he should be
prevented from using <div style="something using a milicious url"> or
the like?
