I really dont want to encourage people to start storing arbitrary binary data in the DB. Remember that the entire DB is always loaded into RAM. Storing files/images/etc. in the DB is really not a good idea.

As such I have implemented support for plain text and markdown, but that's about as far as I am willing to push this.
