Disabling or modifying content sanitization can expose web authors to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. We also receive occasional reports claiming that the presence of the escape hatch is itself a vulnerability. This commit expands the documentation, highlighting both that using the escape hatch incorrectly can be unsafe and that it is intentionally unsafe.
