Of course it's petal specific, as is the backend API which I'm  
exposing to the templates and the Petal path expression parsing  
code.  These methods will always return html which should not be  
encoded.  Why force redundancy?  I'm not advocating this hack be  
included with the Petal distribution, I was just looking for advice  
on whether this would break something I'm not aware of, or if there's  
a better (read: equally DRY) valid way to do it.

Thanks,
