[wp-hackers] New Feature: insert header & footer snippets

[Alexander Beutl]

Hmmm - well there may be some use for it but it is always risky to parse
db-stored code so I wouldn't want this to be enabled by default.
Another thing is: There will be themes which need this extra code and others
where this would be redundant.
I think the right way to do this is write your own plugin which inserts all
this the normal
way (calling the template-functions from within the wp_head() hook - you
should be able to use the template tags there without any problems).

Maybe one could put in some placeholders which trigger special template
tags. But I wouldn't allow custom php there for security reasons
(SQL-Injection-Vulnerabilities are not soo uncommon and one shouldn't make a
script injection possible with that...)
