Patch that fixes <html> issue - however this entire thing is insecure...

I found what was wrong. DPL was using <html> in a rather hacky (and somewhat
insecure way). When mediawiki changed how it handled <html> in r61913, the hack
this extension used broke.

the attached patch fixes the issue as far as I can tell. However, not only is
the approach this extension takes to raw html utterly scary, it is also
insecure. (This patch doesn't add any new security issues, but i feel hesitant
contributing a fix to the mechinism, which in my opinion is insecure until the
underlying security problems have been addressed)
