I would like it at least as a TTW configurable/instanciable (does that 
word exist?) zope product. It could allow

- configuration of "forbidden" words in a textbox, alternativly using a 
"allow" policy (that might get hard).
- a pre-cooked "secure html" config
- possibility to write a custom parser/filter in python script/external 
method

and it would allow something like
<dtml-var someting filter="my_html_cleaner">
and

<dtml-if "my_html_cleaner.is_valid('my_text')">

where is_valid(input_string) only checks if
is_valid(imput_string) == input_string.

The reason why I think it should be TTW configurable is that people not 
being able to pure python should also be in the position to use a 
security feature.
Would this be compatible with ZPT etc.?

Certainly, this doesn't rule out to implement the core funtionality as a

pure python module.
