A cool addition would be a sanatizer to allow processing markdown 
provided by users in a secure way. Right now trying to build 
something like a forum supporting markdown would only end in lots 
of XSS everywhere.

The end developer could probably create a sanatizer himself but:

* security works best when the wheel isn't invented over and over 
again, such piece of software is hard to get right[1], better 
have a centralized effort

* writting a sanitizer requires building a MD parser so it's 
worth baking it into the library (but with a way to disable it 
for trusted inputs).

Otherwise, it would be good to mention that this is not fit to 
manage user inputs and should be kept server-side.
