Comment (by dmsnell):

 @oglekler this has been in trunk since July 20 and is supposed to be part
 of 6.4. Beyond some ideological opposition to properly handling HTML from
 within PHP, there is nothing to my knowledge that anyone has raised as
 objection to this.

 Can you clarify what you mean by "reinventing the wheel" here? For more
 context you might review the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/08/19
 /progress-report-html-api/ API roadmap post] on Make, which reviews the
 motivation for the different parts of the HTML API, or recent XSS alerts
 spanning multiple //new// code contributions around WordPress that
 wouldn't have been possible within this new API.

 What follow-up would you like here? This is definitely a different sort of
 component being developed, but its pace and schedule are intentional in
 response to the sensitivity of the work and the longstanding security,
 convenience, performance, and reliability issues that have given rise to
 it.

 Happy to help however I can. This early inclusion Core-first is part of an
 attempt to avoid typical headaches in Gutenberg > Core merges, headaches
 which appeared during the 6.3 process.
