The '--sanitize-html' option now examines URIs in markdown links
and images, and in HTML href and src attributes. If the URI scheme is not on a whitelist of safe schemes, it is rejected. The main point is to prevent cross-site scripting attacks using 'javascript:' URIs. See http://www.mail-archive.com/markdown-discuss@six.pairlist.net/msg01186.html and http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html. Resolves Issue #62. git-svn-id: https://pandoc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1262 788f1e2b-df1e-0410-8736-df70ead52e1b
