I think you should approach this in the opposite direction.
Ask, "what tags should be allowed".  Start with a small
subset of 'essential' html and try and keep the list as
absolutely small as possible.  For every html tag you allow,
you should be thinking, what simple wiki markup could be
used to replace it.

Ideally, wiki markups and no html should be use.  Realistically,
wiki markups and some limited set of html will be needed.

Off the top of my head, i'd allow the anchor and image tags.
All the other essential ones (including tables) are supported
with current wiki markups.  When authors request more, we can
check if there is an existing wiki markup, if one can be created,
or if we must use html.

That's my opinion.  I could be wrong.
