It seems "Fixed in CVS and need to be documented" does not changes the
status if it is set to "Assigned" :/

Added ENT_IGNORE as a compatibility flag to skip invalid multibyte
sequences instead of returning an empty string (as iconv's //IGNORE).
These functions will still never return an invalid or incomplete
multibyte sequence.
Example: htmlspecialchars("...", ENT_QUOTES | ENT_COMPAT, "utf-8");

Arnaud, fix it yourself.

Actually "The tool" to use for incoming data is the filter extension..
