The affixed patch makes it impossible to call manage_form_title directly, and thus elimates xss attacks on it.
This method (and probably loads more) wasn't designed to be public, but inherited this feature by virtue of being implemented as DTML.
Can someone please check and apply this patch (and back out the patch html-quoting the form-title on manage_form_title.dtml) :)
TIA, Alan
