Well, people turn on safe mode just because the name implies that things are safe too - which is wrong. I agree with Ilia, we should not mangle request data by default. It's fine to provide filter functions but the normal post/get/cookie data should be normally available through GET and POST - this is starting to look like another magic_quotes.
