+## javascript insertation via insufficient htmlscrubbing of comments
+
+Kevin Riggle noticed that it was not possible to configure
+`htmlscrubber_skip` to scrub comments while leaving unscubbed the text
+of eg, blog posts. Confusingly, setting it to "* and !comment(*)" did not
+scrub comments.
+
+Additionally, it was discovered that comments' html was never scrubbed during
+preview or moderation of comments.

+hour with the release of ikiwiki 3.20101112.
