Correct. And one reason to properly format for output, rather than sanitise input is because you do not know how the string might be used. I mean you can sanitise for HTML output, but it won't cover shell command output (i.e.: when you pass the string as a parameter to a tool via --vehicle-name=). Thus input is to be stored as is, and NEVER trusted even if some input sources "sanitise" it.
