Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Replying to [comment:7 ocean90]:
 > `wp.sanitize.sanitizeText()` looks weird since it's repetitive. What
 about `wp.sanitize.text()`?

 @ocean90 What do you think of something more descriptive here like
 `wp.sanitize.stripTagsAndEncode`?  This function strips tags from a string
 and also encodes any HTML entities.

 cc: @kraftbj if we change the function name, the `Press This` plugin will
 [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/press-this/trunk/assets/press-
 this.js#L194 need an update].
