I think this thread illustrates one of the challenges faced by the 
security community - inconsistent vocabulary. I've seen strip, filter, 
and sanitize used to describe various types of activity, including escaping.

All input should be filtered, without exception. Inspection is better 
than stripping, and escaping is an entirely different topic (of equal or 
greater importance).
