Actually, the interhg documentation says one case where it's not that 
good: 
- the extension overloads the escape filter and this filter is used all 
  over the templates. In case of changelog titles this yields to nesteded 
  <a> tags since the titles are being escaped as well

- what if I want the escape filter but don't want the expansion to bts 
  e.g. in the titles where it looks ugly?

In my opinion, the interhg should add a separate filter - similar to my 
extension. This filter could then be used in the templates.
Overall, I like interhg better since it takes a more robust 
approach. Mine, was just a draft for what I needed it.

Any thoughts?
