   * Parses a string into an HTML document, sanitizes the document and

   * The sanitizer is designed to protect against XSS when sanitized content
   * is inserted into a different-origin context without an iframe-equivalent
   * sandboxing mechanism.
   *
   * By default, the sanitizer doesn't try to avoid leaking information that
   * the content was viewed to third parties. That is, by default, e.g.
   * <img src> pointing to an HTTP server potentially controlled by a third
   * party is not removed. To avoid ambient information leakage upon loading
   * the sanitized content, use the SanitizerInternalEmbedsOnly flag. In that
   * case, <a href> links (and similar) to other content are preserved, so an
   * explicit user action (following a link) after the content has been loaded
   * can still leak information.
   *
   * By default, non-dangerous non-CSS presentational HTML elements and
   * attributes or forms are not removed. To remove these, use
   * SanitizerDropNonCSSPresentation and/or SanitizerDropForms.
   *
   * By default, comments and CSS is removed. To preserve comments, use
   * SanitizerAllowComments. To preserve <style> and style="", use
   * SanitizerAllowStyle. -moz-binding is removed from <style> and style="" if
   * present. In this case, properties that Gecko doesn't recognize can get
   * removed as a side effect. Note! If -moz-binding is not present, <style>
   * and style="" and SanitizerAllowStyle is specified, the sanitized content
   * may still be XSS dangerous if loaded into a non-Gecko Web engine!
