 hi,

 since 2.7.0 we have the function {{{ register_setting($option_group,
 $option_name, $sanitize_callback = '') }}} in ''/wp-admin/plugin.php'' to
 securely handle handed over $_POST variables in the admin menu.

 afaik, besides of the usage of query_vars (which only work for $_GET
 variables) we have no counterpart to ''register_setting'' on the front-
 end. imho, we could increase the security and usability of forms and their
 variables if we would provide a similar functionality in ''wp-includes''.

 what do you think?

 greetz,
 berny
