WordPress 2.0.1 still has annoying attribute stripping

When WordPress 2.0 was released, its aggressive tag attribute stripping caused me a lot of pain. For example, I couldn’t link any image at all using my favorite blogging client, Ecto. I was hoping that the 2.0.1 release would fix this problem.

Well, yes and no

It fixed some-but-not-all of the tag problems. It still strips too much for my taste. I’ve once again added several attributes back into my wp-includes/kses.php file.

The changes I’ve made are:
'div' => array ('align' => array (), 'class' => array (), 'id' => array(), 'style' => array()),
'img' => array ('alt' => array (), 'class' => array(), 'align' => array (), 'border' => array (), 'height' => array (), 'hspace' => array (), 'longdesc' => array (), 'vspace' => array (), 'src' => array (), 'title' => array (), 'width' => array ()),
'span' => array ('class' => array (), 'id' => array(), 'style' => array()),
'p' => array ('align' => array (), 'class' => array (), 'id' => array(), 'style' => array()),
'tag' => array(), 'tags' => array(),
