The workaround I suggested is a better coding pattern in general, I wouldn't
consider it a workaround.

However in general POSTING to a MediaWiki edit-action should work. Although I
wouldn't recommend doing it in any scenario, the bug is valid. But unless there
is a way I don't know about, this is an upstream issue we can't do much about.

If I understand the problem correctly, the IE development team made a decision
to now allow this type of submission and as such implemented an XXS filter to
break it.

Reporting upstream to Microsoft will be pointless as this XSS filter is a
decision by them, a feature, not a bug.

Even if there is any way to "fix" it from our side (it wouldn't be the first
security leak in IE), as soon as we publish that fix it is not unlikely that IE
will get a security update making that fix no longer work.
