I am using Wordpress MU. I applied your patches to the plugin to allow me to use these tags and it worked - great. However, I had previously disabled Visual mode for the admin user that I was using to create the post. When I re-enabled Visual mode, and re-visited the page with the imagemap, when I switched from Visual mode to HTML, it stripped out the tags again - only in a worse fashion then before using the plugin. For example, if I now insert a simple image (no map related tags) in visual mode and then switch to html all I get left with is <code> <code> There seems to be some kind of conflict here. Unfortunately, I have had to disable the plugin in order to carry on working. The auto stripping of tags by tinymce does seem to be an issue for lots of people. This is a nice way to work with it, as I understand that the stripping action can improve security. Incidentally, I thought that tinymec DID support the necessary tags for Imagemaps, but not apparently the version in the current MU release. Please keep up the good work - this is what we need.

We just needed the base functionality you wrote to work in MU and adding the edit_allowedposttags hook got us there. Most complaints i've seen are about how MU blocks stuff like embedding videos and that'd be the kind of thing to put into a config xml file - great idea. Only other MU specific thing i could think of would be if you could install the plugin in the admin blog and apply that setup globally to all blogs - i.e. not install in each blog separately. Might be possible with the special mu-plugins directory which behaves differently. Cool.

What exactly do you want it to do? My next thing was to have the ability to read from a config XML file to insert some of your own default elements/attributes.
