Comment:

 I don't think your decision is correct

 at least what you state will get removed as for sanitization does not get
 really stripped

 can you just test it?

 I did test what you call will get stripped and only the \ was removed from
 the post content and why at all will a bracket or & will ever get stripped
 from the added post content

 please reopen the case


 {{{
 //wp-load
 require_once('../../../wp-load.php');

 $my_post = array(
                 'post_title'    =>  'test [&<>"\'] post \include',
                 'post_content'  => 'test content',

 );



 // Insert the post into the database
 $insert= wp_insert_post( $my_post );

 }}}

 returned title test [&<>"'] post include
 exptected title test [&<>"\'] post \include
