I don't know if it'll help in your situation, but I've done a BBML parser in CF that might solve some of your problems:
http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/CustomTa gs/DP_ParseBBML/Index.cfm The basic idea is that users are allowed a simplified version of HTML, BBML (actually an HTML-like mark up). With it they can do most formatting (bold, lists, links, images), but nothing else (script, tables, etc). In effect it lets you offer some presentation control without risk the general layout of the site.
