    I would love it if .xap files were an allowable upload file type for articles.

      We already have the ability to insert .xap files hosted elsewhere into your articles - we just don't yet provide the option to upload .xap files onto our servers due to security concerns. Those concerns may quite well be moot - further investigation is needed.

        Yeah, I can't really speak to the security concern; although the reason I asked is that it takes extra configuration to host Silverlight in a cross-domain setup, and may in fact be a greater security threat to end-users. Also, I don't mind the extra bandwidth on my site, but the likelihood that I remove it from my site in a year without thinking about the consequences is a real one. :doh:

          Oh, and .svg would be a nice file type to allow too.

            Unfortunately SVG has a little too much leeway for causing damage ;)
