[issue2830] Copy cgi.escape() to html

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> added the comment:

Encoding the forward slash should not cause problems, but the quote

  “forward slash is included as it helps end an HTML entity”

is confused; there's no need or additional value in escaping the forward slash.
