Ahm, GET is most-decidedly UN-safe, but not for the same reasons.
POST doesn't "expose" the form data, whilst GET does, in the URI, which can
be bad, especially for those who put username, passwords, etc. in there, and
don't realize that it can be cached, stuck in proxies, and is likely logged
in several places in referer and access logs upstream.

Since when can IE do XSLT? That must be a new IE7 coming out..

Sure, lots of things. Text, graphics, HTML, maybe image maps?
Javascript? No.
Flash? No.

Just remember that not everyone uses it for what you use it for.

GET is not a replacement for POST, as you know.

My bad, I haven't used the Java or Python tools in quite some time,
and I'd forgotten that was there for url filtering, not internal content
filtering.
