According to http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref, Lt is not a valid charref. Did you find it accepted by any browsers?
those decoding of & < > " are actually security non-critical, as no regexp is trying to match them. they're there only for those who're interested in using the html decoder (i.e., _privFilters.d()).

This makes available an advanced config feature to make filter replace NULL. By using
xssFilters._privFilters.config({replaceNull:true}), the five most basic contextual filters, on which all contexts/filters depend, will be replacing the null character with\uFFFDat last.The performance penalty of enabling this is detailed in https://github.com/yahoo/xss-filters/blob/benchmarks/tests/benchmarks/null-replacement.js
An alternative approach is to have a layer of polyfill that patches problematic IE's
document.write()anddocument.writeln(). note thatinnerHTMLhas no such problem.Coverage is also made 100% thru this PR.
