HTML messages

There is no Matrix standard for HTML messages currently, apart from the matrix.org custom one. We would need a standard one (or implement a Vector one but this would be contrary to the whole ethos of Matrix).

Suggest we just use the matrix.org custom one for now

I'd vote fairly strongly that we bite the bullet and get this specified now rather than make the problem worse still.

Okay. Starting point would be whether React gives a nice HTML or CSS
sanitiser we can use as an 'implementation is the reference' starting
point.

Failing that, we'll be faffing around specifying a manual whitelist of
HTML tags and attributes and optionally CSS styles... or using MD or RST
or whatever as an intermediate representation and needing to render it in
the client.

[ara4n]

given the spec stuff isn't progressing and I want this feature right now, I've implemented the org.matrix one for now in fdfa0cb

[ara4n]

(obviously I am very happy for the impl to be replaced once matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#92 is sorted out and lands)

@ara4n, does this include HTML support in Markdown markup? ¹
