It's typical use StdinReader (and XmonadProp) values with color markup
to highlight the current workspace number; we would break those usage
cases if we HTML-escape the received string.  I suspect Pipe is used in
similar ways too.  But perhaps i'm missing your point?

An alternative to address the specific window title problem could also
be providing a CurrentWindowTitle plugin.
