[Flow] Fluid escaping interceptor not called when rendering view helpers with shorthand syntax

Sorry, I didn't try to be a smart aleck about it, I just misread your 
question and thought you wondered about a different output.

I'm with you now. But I'm not sure what to do about it.
The rule "as soon as you use a VH the automatic escaping is disabled" 
makes sense I think and changing the uri.* ViewHelpers to escape their 
result would also be confusing IMO.

Changing the behavior depending on the context could also be very 
misleading and difficult to comprehend[1].


I would suggest to communicate the current behavior *very clearly and 
visible* in the templating documentation[2] and promote ways to 
circumvent problems up front.
For example it's not very known that in Flow you can just write:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../../Public/Styles.css" />

Luckily the issue does not seem to be relevant for resources, because 
the FileSystemPublishingTarget already escapes the filename 
("Some"Res&rce.txt" gets "SomeResrce.txt").



[1] That we already change the global behavior based on the request 
format (disabling the escape interceptors for non-html) is already 
confusing for people and maybe it was a mistake to do so.. (at least 
they're about to be configurable with https://review.typo3.org/24551).
