We discussed for a long time why OpenOffice documents
can't be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons because the
ZIP encoding wasn't safe and could explode in the
face of the user. Well, maybe OGG isn't safe either?
Should we just ban video all together?
There's a difference between an OGG not playing on your browser and an
OpenOffice file really being a .jar with malicious Java code. It's not
so much about stuff exploding in the user's face as it is about stuff
compromising the user's security.
