Well, I do think it's nice not to have to worry about encoding text all 
the time, since it really should always be encoded when it isn't raw 
html content.  The tricky part is that you can use one method for both 
currently; if it encodes the text you really can't use it for raw stuff 
at all.  And I don't want to have to create two versions of all the 
methods...  sigh.

No solution; just my thoughts.
