If I write "answer the script of button 1", I get to read the script of
button 1; the answer dialog doesn't try to run that code.

If I write "answer the text of of image 1", I can (sort of) read the binary
code of the image; the answer dialog doesn't try to render the image.

If I write "answer the fileName of player 1", I can view the disk location
of the player's content; the answer dialog doesn't try to play the video.

So why does the answer dialog render HTML?  It should not.
