This is what Chris had recommended as well, so it may be the way to  
handle it initially. My only problem is that replacing the text with  
X's would slightly change the line layouts when compared to the non- 
redacted version. Not a big deal for the project at hand, but it could  
be an issue in other contexts.

Oh, yeah. Good point. I wouldn't normally be outputting HTML for these  
docs, but it's something to keep in mind.
