well, I was going to wait until after TPC5 to release it, but you sound so
excited :)
I came up with Apache::Clean while preparing some slides:
http://morpheus.laserlink.net/~gyoung/modules/Apache-Clean-0.01.tar.gz
it's just a simple interface into Paul Lindner's nifty HTML::Clean, but set
up as a PerlHandler that can stand on it's own or be used with the latest
Apache::Filter.
Just in case you want to eek out that last bit of bandwidth - I saw about
another 10% drop when combining Apache::Clean with Apache::Compress
Anyway, I'll probably put it on CPAN tomorrow...
