After discussing the issue of XSS-protection in the new input implementation of the UI-framework in #1189, @Amstutz and I decided to remove tags altogether in the currently available text-input-fields to allow people to use the new input implementation without the burden to think of correctly removing XSS-related input. This will break use-cases, where textarea and text field should actually be used to input HTML, but we prefer bug reports for these cases over XSS-vulnerabilities.
We will look into a proper long term solution for the use-cases that actually need some html-tags for ILIAS 6.0.
Note that this is no breaking change, thus no JF-decision etc. is required.
