Use what you like; I'm just stating my position.
Well, I did try Daniel's original today; this works like a charm (there's not even a problem with excessive whitespaces or the like). However, I'll definitely keep track of further developments in this area!
Well, if you did brief testing, that means it worked for you at some point!? But I don't see anything at all at the moment... Security vulnerabilites are not a huge issue at the moment.
Yes, it worked for me in a brief test. It also didn't cause MediaWiki to die in a horrible manner. I cannot guarantee that an experimental extension will be fully functional at once. I am not presently developing the thing, so you'll have to wait.
That's alright; as I've said, I'll keep track of things. (I would never *demand* anything anyway; after all, you're providing a free service here - and a high-quality one at that!)
Thanks again,
Frederik
