Stop stripping tags that are outside of the body..

We are trying to figure out how to make sure html, head, meta, style, title, aren't stripped.

In an effort to stop them from being removed by HTMLPurifier we used the addElement method. We seem to be able to get them all to work EXCEPT HEAD.

                        $oDef = $oConfig->getHTMLDefinition(true);

                        $oDef->addElement(
                                'style', // name
                                false, // content set
                                'Optional: #PCDATA', // allowed children
                                'Common', // attribute collection
                                array( // attributes
                                        'type' => 'CDATA',
                                ));

                        $oDef->addElement(
                                'title', // name
                                false, // content set
                                'Optional: #PCDATA', // allowed children
                                'I18N', // attribute collection
                                array( // attributes
                                ));

                        $oDef->addElement(
                                'meta', // name
                                false, // content set
                                'Empty', // allowed children
                                'I18N', // attribute collection
                                array( // attributes
                                        'http-equiv' => 'CDATA',
                                        'name' => 'CDATA',
                                        'content' => 'CDATA',
                                        'scheme' => 'CDATA',
                                ));

                        $oDef->addElement(
                                'head', // name
                                false, // content set
                                'Optional: Flow | #PCDATA | title | style | meta', // allowed children
                                'Common', // attribute collection
                                array( // attributes
                                ));

                        $oDef->addElement(
                                'body', // name
                                false, // content set
                                'Optional: Flow | #PCDATA | Inline', // allowed children
                                'Common', // attribute collection
                                array( // attributes
                                ));

                        $html = $oDef->addElement(
                                'html',  // name
                                false, // content set
                                'Optional: Flow | #PCDATA | head | body | title | style | meta', // allowed children
                                'Common', // attribute collection
                                array( // attributes
#                                       'action*' => 'URI',
#                                       'method' => 'Enum#get|post',
#                                       'name' => 'ID'
                                ));
                        $html->excludes = array('html'=>true);

You may ask why we have title, style, meta inside the html. It's because the HEAD isn't working yet. So in the meantime we put them there since they seem to render even though they are children of HEAD.

Can you please post the configuration you're using? Have you been updating the definition revision (or suspended caching) while developing your plugins?
