Absolutely, the proper solution is to add in to the filtered HTML input filter those tags which are secure and absolutely indispensable.

Very important point.

I sometimes wonder why we even bother doing <http://drupal.org/security>.

Unless you are the only user posting on the site, setting Full HTML as the
default input format is both 1) the easy way out and 2) insecure.

1. You can simply investigate which tags are needed and add those to the HTML
filter.

2. Insecure, because you allow all users to execute cross site scripting attacks.
