DOS vulnerability when using HTML5 Sanitization

New issue 83 by brynaryh: DOS vulnerability when using HTML5 Sanitization
http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/detail?id=83
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a attribute that is configured to use html5lib sanitization
2. Attempt to save the record with the HTML in the attached file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected the record would be saved reasonably fast. The ruby process will  
peg the CPU, and the
sanitization will take over 45 minutes, thus potentially downing any site  
that uses this
configuration

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This occurred in our production environment on Engine Yard, and I also  
reproduced it locally on:

ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]
