Can we be a little careful with that response? The behaviour you think people are relying on is undocumented and confusing. Are people truly relying on the "HTML encoding" behaviour of user input? I think that something so unintuitive is better fixed rather than live with it forever! Simple user input such as "user<email>" is not being returned as expected and I really don't want to be the kind of framework that instructs developers to use workarounds especially as we roll out a shiny new API.
