Yes we should be protected against that.
We also should have ways to limit the rights to insert JS and scripting 
in pages based on similar rights are the "programming" rights.

It should be possible to run a wiki where only a certain group of people 
is allowed to insert that type of content in pages.

This should be additionally handled at insert time (in addition of 
execution time like the programming rights)

We also should be able to list all pages that make use of these advanced 
features:

- programming
- scripting
- javascript
