> # Allow superscript and subscript (checked by default)
There are plenty of legitimate uses for these, so I don't see the point of
adding yet another user option.

> # Allow text shadowing (unchecked by default)
> # Allow text scrolling (unchecked by default)
> # Allow text blinking (unchecked by default)
Possibly, though once the specific CSS properties are identified, they could
certainly be overridden using user CSS. Again, no change to core MediaWiki is
required for this.

> # Allow unicode characters (unchecked by default)
This has nothing to do with CSS, and at least the seemingly obvious solution of
stripping all characters above U+007F would be unusable on most non-English
wikis. Also, some English words (e.g. résumé), as well as IPA pronunciations,
contain (or can contain) such characters.

> # Allow text/background contrast greater than 7:1 (unchecked by default)
>      This one could also offer a drop-down selection to change the ratio
This is ridiculous. Black text on a white background is 21:1 contrast,
according to http://juicystudio.com/services/luminositycontrastratio.php . And
it's not something that's easy to analyze on the server.

> # Allow animation in *.gif images
Theoretically, it should be simple and quick to remove everything but the first
frame on the fly. However, the current image serving architecture likely would
require storing a separate thumbnail of each animated GIF on the server, which
would consume additional disk space.

> Drop-down range for minimum and maximum font size in regular text
>    I would start it at 9pt minimum and 16pt maximum.
>    Allow the minimum size to go as small as 6pt.
>    Allow the maximum size to go as large as 36pt?
This is really the only part that might make sense, although in my
understanding, anyone using such an option would not benefit from the parser
cache (as in waiting 30 seconds for the Barack Obama article to load).
