Well, reading between the lines, i guess this means that plone does
not normally allow the user the *option* of writing directly in html?
i guess this shows one of the differences with "out-of-the-box"
operation of samizdat. The default samizdat format is plain and simple
like the default mir format, but advanced users can either learn
textile or if they don't want to learn something new, they *may*
choose to use raw html. Since this is filtered through a list of
allowable html tags, i think we could also force an alt tag in img
links if the user doesn't put one in.
