First question: is your site secure?

If you disable account creation and only allow trusted users, it is  
trivial to make a "raw html" extension. That's how I include  
QuickTime movies and image maps:
     http://www.bytesmiths.com/wiki/Body%2C_chassis%2C_driveline
     http://www.bytesmiths.com/wiki/Fuel_system_common_components

But if you allow the public to edit, you shouldn't do that.

Let me know if you want my insecure hack, or it's easy enough to hack  
up yourself. It's only a couple lines inside the extension boilerplate.
