Comment (by ottok):

 The original function allowed some characters to go without being replaced
 by html entities. Are you now suggesting we should due to security reasons
 always encode everything as html entities? Or do you want only the special
 case of '<\n' to be encoded and all other whitespace followed '<' to
 remain as is?

 I assume the latter, that you are concerned only about this special case,
 an a patch for that is attached.
