Phishing isnt a single attack technique. Phishing is the act of trying to get someone to a site under false pretenses. So like a fake paypal email, where the link is going to another site that may be setup to look like paypal.com but instead is their site which is trying to steal information from you (like your password.

So, phishing attacks often use XSS to accomplish their goal of getting the user to the website they want under false pretenses.

Lots of improvements with presentation control are in the works. Im also focusing more on the pay-subscription support and will probably add support for show notes in the near future.
