I recently edited the wikipedia article about heat death: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe The edit consisted of me changing all the 10<sup>xx</sup> into 10Exx in the headers. Because the table of contents changed 10<sup>xx</sup> into 10xx (for example 10<sup>40</sup> looked like 1040). I suppose the same could be said for subscripts but I haven't tried that.
HTML tags are currently stripped. It would probably be sensible to make an exception for <sup> and <sub>, maybe also <s>, <u>, and <del>/<ins>, but then you start getting into issues of people setting weird styles and getting non-blue or otherwise weird links. At least <sup> and <sub> should be whitelisted, because those aren't too uncommon and stripping them results in flat-out wrong output (e.g., 10^22 -> 1022).
Fixed in r25260 for <sup> and <sub>. I left alone behavior for other attributes.
