We have to implement filtering because our threat model is completely
different to that of the typical web browser. This explains why we implement
filtering of HTML, and it explains why we warn the user on any type we can't
filter - for example, mp3s can contain id3 tags, which might be interpreted
by some players so you can click on the url to go to the song's author's
homepage - or even as HTML.
