title: Do jQuery's val() and prop() methods html-escape values?
body: <p>I can't find anything in the documentation about <a href="http://api.jquery.com/val/" rel="noreferrer"><code>val()</code></a> and <a href="http://api.jquery.com/prop/" rel="noreferrer"><code>prop()</code></a> and escaping.</p>
  
  <p>Are they intended to escape values when used as setters?</p>
