Agree. Not trying to give you guys a hard time, but Twitter has had several vulnerabilities caused by unescaped user supplied data being output without sanitization.

Obviously I'm on the outside looking in, but IIRC rendering user pages is not particularly taxing on Twitter, to the point that they aren't cached. Would adding a simple sanitization routine have significant impact?
