Help
I've been reverse engineering a 'Godaddy.com' e-mail newsleter to see why their e-mails are so successful in what seems like all e-mail programs. They use this thing 'XSSCleaned' as a kind of limited CSS stand-in. Does anyone know what this is called exactly, so I can look it up and get more info on it. Or does anyone simply have a site in mind that I can check out that defines it and possibly provides a list of the CSS equivalents this 'XSSCleaned' supports? It appears to be the way to get e-mail newsletters done right.
Thanks so much,
The Lion.

I have gone to the above reference, but all it does is define the meaning of XSS. It doesn't say anything about the attribute 'XSSCleaned'.
I would like to know why it is used (presumably to help prevent exploits, but I can't find this stated anywhere explicitly), and how it gets attached to someone's code.
I originally ran across this attribute when I received an email containing some HTML code. I wrote the webmaster of the site that sent the email, and she said that she originally had used the 'style' attribute. After doing some research, I discovered that her email server had substituted 'XSSCleaned' for 'style'.
All the Googling I've done on this attribute leads only to examples of its use -- not to an explanation. I'm going to continue my research, but I would appreciate any insight that members might have on this subject.

I actually think it has nothing to do with what you're interested it. It's just a notification like Virus-free.

True. It is a notification of sorts. But what I'd like to know is how the browser knows that it's equivalent to 'style'.
In other words, the source code says, for example, XSSCleaned="background-color: #D6E8F8;", and the browser renders the proper background color, just like if it had said style="background-color: #D6E8F8;".

Is there a DTD or a custom doctype?
With XHTML you can pretty much define any tags you want so long as you provide a definition somewhere.

I'm not sure. The doctype is HTML 4.0 Transitional,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
but there's a meta tag I haven't seen before:
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3252" name=GENERATOR> .
