+Since some preprocessor directives insert raw HTML, it would be good to
+specify, per-format, how to pass HTML so that it goes through the format
+OK. With Markdown we cross our fingers; with reST we use the "raw"
+directive.
+
+I added an extra named parameter to the htmlize hook, which feels sort of
+wrong, since none of the other hooks take parameters. Let me know what
+you think. --Ethan
+
+Seems fairly reasonable, actually. Shouldn't the `$type` come from `$page`
+instead of `$destpage` though? Only other obvious change is to make the
+escape parameter optional, and only call it if set. --[[Joey]]
