XRB::Sanitize

Sanitize markup by adding, changing or removing tags, using the xrb stream processor (which has a naive C implementation).

Motivation

I use the sanitize gem and generally it's great. However, it's performance can be an issue and additionally, it doesn't preserve tag namespaces when parsing fragments due to how Nokogiri works internally. This is a problem when processing content destined for utopia since it heavily depends on tag namespaces.

Is it fast?

In my informal testing, this gem is about ~50x faster than the sanitize gem when generating plain text.
