[support] different TinyMCE problems

[sander-martijn]

I've always thought the opposite of TinyMCE (or any wysiwyg editor).  
It's not necessarily to restrict your users from using html but more to 
remove the requirement of knowing html. 

However I do think you can get what you want: I think that if you turn 
on full html globally but turn off the option for users to select, 
require TinyMCE (also can be done globally I believe) and don't include 
the html button in the TinyMCE editor, then TinyMCE will be able to 
write all the html it needs to (restricting html will restrict it from 
TinyMCE as well - this is because TinyMCE is merely a front-end mask to 
what's really happening) while the user will never be able to see or 
edit it.
