 <overview>
 	<p>
-		Dynamically constructing HTML with inputs from library functions that are 
-		available to external clients may inadvertently leave a client open to XSS attacks.
-		
-		Clients using the exported function may use inputs containing unsafe HTML,
-		and if these inputs end up in the DOM, the client may be vulnerable to
-		cross-site scripting attacks.
-	</p>
+		When a library function dynamically constructs HTML in a potentially unsafe
+		way, then it's important to document to clients of the library that the function 
+		should only be used with trusted inputs. 
 
+		If the function is not documented as being potentially unsafe, then a client
+		may inadvertently use inputs containing unsafe HTML fragments, and thereby leave
+		the client vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

 <recommendation>
 
 	<p>
-		If possible, use safe APIs when inserting HTML into the DOM.  
-		Such as writing to the <code>innerText</code> property instead of <code>innerHTML</code>.
+		Document all library functions that can lead to cross-site scripting 
+		attacks, and guard against unsafe inputs where dynamic HTML
+		construction is not intended.
