Phew, we're all safe then. 

Actually, that page is pretty old, and modern versions of both Netmoscapezilla and IE are more robust.

Besides, that's more of a client thing, the way people are talking here, you'd think every web server which displayed HTML was a wide open backdoor to root the server.

Oh, I completely agree. No sanely-configured server is at server-side risk from HTML. But unfiltered HTML does pose client-side risks, and perhaps frog51 is thinking of regularly-insanely-configured servers?
