Wile E. Coyote has also been known as "Hard-Headipus Ravenus" and "Overconfidentii Vulgaris"[1]. I haven't been following this whole matter closely, but it seems like the shoe fits and Dan, to his credit, is proudly wearing it. I'm confident that Dan has made some effort to make ZAP safe, but security concerns seem to have taken a back seat to adding Power!, Features! and Extensibility!... From my perspective this conclusion has been easy to reach, but it may not be obvious to a new WikiAdministrator that adding lots of power, features, and extensibility also adds significant risk of vulnerability to their Pmwiki site. The Internet is a bizarre bazaar, and writing code safe enough to use on a production web site is truly an art that even the most skilled programmers find challenging. The idea that someone without any previous web programming experience could code something with all of ZAPcme's capabilities and not introduce security holes is _highly_ optimistic.
