> The saneHTML sanitizer in lib/sakai/sakai.api.util.js strips new attributes (such as aria-describedby="foo" ) from form fields. 
> Yes, the function provides a whitelist to add/allow new attributes, but we're wondering why it does this at all. Attributes that we developers add to the codebase are trusted by definition - very different from sanitizing content entered into form fields by end users. Do we really need to be sanitizing our own internal attributes?
