OK. My reading of that response was that the custom approach would give
you full control over the HTML. If they still run some sort of
sanitiser, then you would still have an issue as you actually don't have
full control. However, that does seem like an odd process. I mean, if
you go to the trouble to setup a custom workflow and then having some
arbitrary sanitiser come in at the end and move the goal posts seems
broken to me.
