1142301 - Don't HTML-encode characters in data, encode them (if necessary) when rendering

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[David Durst [:ddurst]]

Currently, in transonic, we store some characters HTML-encoded (like &). This is problematic because we aren't necessarily using that data in a way that accepts them, which means we them have to strip them out (like in <title> vs <h1>).

This would require a redo/undo of fixes in bug 1093420, bug 1131686, and bug 1104330, at least. But it makes for more portable data and is a best practice.
