[TYPO3-dev] Proper usage of lang::getLL()?

Sorry I was not clear enough. I don't want to remove the second 
parameter of lang::getLL(). I just want to remove the usage of it that 
was made in recent patches about localization. In these patches a lot of 
calls to getLL() were made with the second parameter set to "true". This 
means that all localized strings would go through htmlspecialchars(), 
which I find not only unnecessary, but actually undesirable, as there 
are localized string containing HTML tags and this will waste them.

Actually (on second check) in these patches all localized strings are 
passed through htmlspecialchars() unless they already had existing HTML 
tags inside them. I find this rather constraining as it means that tags 
cannot be added later without also changing the core code to remove the 
"true" flag.

And as I mentioned before, this really doesn't seem to be a common 
practice in the core as I couldn't find calls using the "true" flag.

Cheers
