Comment:

 In shortcodes.diff I don't see how arbitrary corruption of HTML would be
 avoided.  Just because someone uses square braces in their CDATA, URI, or
 other element, doesn't mean it's an unregistered shortcode.

 In shortcodes.2.diff I don't see how shortcodes would even work anymore.

 I agree the escaping system is somewhat nonsensical, but we need a more
 foolproof solution.
