New MT plugin author

Some guy named Sam Ruby, who doesn’t seem to have ever done any Movable Type plugin writing before, has done a new version of Gavin Estey’s wonderful SafeHref plugin, which now covers every possible place a URI might appear. I think I’ll comment out a few of them, since I don’t find much need for framesets or <base href=””> in a weblog post, but expanding SafeHref to cover me when I forget to &amp; an & in an image or form URI sounds like a good thing.

Sam Ruby is the guy who hosts the Atom wiki and was very instrumental in getting the format and API to where it is today. He also co-wrote the Feed Validator with Mark Pilgrim. So he’s more than just ”some guy” :).

There was a stray print statement on line 80 in the original version I posted. ”Some guy” named Jacques Distler brought this to my attention. ;-)

Just to be clear on what I did: I took a list that Mark Pilgrim posted, and converted it to a hash of hashes. And then I modified exactly two lines in the original: the one that looked specifically for ”a” and the one that looked for ”href”.
