What specific section or headline is this issue about?

No response

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Nothing

What did you expect to see?

I think we should try to explain that it's unsafe to something like this:

div.setHTML(code);
other_div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML

It's also unsafe to use the result of innerHTML save it in a database and serve again without using setHTML.

setHTML can't protect against bugs caused by the HTML code being parsed again (mXSS)
