/**
 * @fileoverview Conversions from plain string to goog.html types for use in
 * legacy APIs that do not use goog.html types.
 *
 * This file provides conversions to create values of goog.html types from plain
 * strings.  These conversions are intended for use in legacy APIs that consume
 * HTML in the form of plain string types, but whose implementations use
 * goog.html types internally (and expose such types in an augmented, HTML-type-
 * safe API).
 *
 * IMPORTANT: No new code should use the conversion functions in this file.
 *
 * The conversion functions in this file are guarded with global flag
 * (goog.html.legacyconversions.ALLOW_LEGACY_CONVERSIONS). If set to false, it
 * effectively "locks in" an entire application to only use HTML-type-safe APIs.
 *
 * Intended use of the functions in this file are as follows:
 *
 * Many Closure and application-specific classes expose methods that consume
 * values that in the class' implementation are forwarded to DOM APIs that can
 * result in security vulnerabilities.  For example, goog.ui.Dialog's setContent
 * method consumes a string that is assigned to an element's innerHTML property;
 * if this string contains untrusted (attacker-controlled) data, this can result
 * in a cross-site-scripting vulnerability.
 *
 * Widgets such as goog.ui.Dialog are being augmented to expose safe APIs
 * expressed in terms of goog.html types.  For instance, goog.ui.Dialog has a
 * method setSafeHtmlContent that consumes an object of type goog.html.SafeHtml,
 * a type whose contract guarantees that its value is safe to use in HTML
 * context, i.e. can be safely assigned to .innerHTML. An application that only
 * uses this API is forced to only supply values of this type, i.e. values that
 * are safe.
 *
 * However, the legacy method setContent cannot (for the time being) be removed
 * from goog.ui.Dialog, due to a large number of existing callers.  The
 * implementation of goog.ui.Dialog has been refactored to use
 * goog.html.SafeHtml throughout.  This in turn requires that the value consumed
 * by its setContent method is converted to goog.html.SafeHtml in an unchecked
 * conversion. The conversion function is provided by this file:
 * goog.html.legacyconversions.safeHtmlFromString.
 *
 * Note that the semantics of the conversions in goog.html.legacyconversions are
 * very different from the ones provided by goog.html.uncheckedconversions:  The
 * latter are for use in code where it has been established through manual
 * security review that the value produced by a piece of code must always
 * satisfy the SafeHtml contract (e.g., the output of a secure HTML sanitizer).
 * In uses of goog.html.legacyconversions, this guarantee is not given -- the
 * value in question originates in unreviewed legacy code and there is no
 * guarantee that it satisfies the SafeHtml contract.
 *
 * To establish correctness with confidence, application code should be
 * refactored to use SafeHtml instead of plain string to represent HTML markup,
 * and to use goog.html-typed APIs (e.g., goog.ui.Dialog#setSafeHtmlContent
 * instead of goog.ui.Dialog#setContent).
 *
 * To prevent introduction of new vulnerabilities, application owners can
 * effectively disable unsafe legacy APIs by compiling with the define
 * goog.html.legacyconversions.ALLOW_LEGACY_CONVERSIONS set to false.  When
 * set, this define causes the conversion methods in this file to
 * unconditionally throw an exception.
 *
 * Note that new code should always be compiled with
 * ALLOW_LEGACY_CONVERSIONS=false.  At some future point, the default for this
 * define may change to false.
