I understand why PH uses its own tag language, however something that would be really useful is if HREF and IMG tags were allowed in posts. This is because Flickr likes you to link to the Flickr page for an image if you use it elsewhere and they supply specific code for you to copy.

See here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/binaryimage/467150196...

If you're not technically savvy, it's actually quite hard to convert this:

< a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/binaryimage/467150196/" title="TVR Sagaris by binaryimage, on Flickr">< img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/173/467150196_1e3bf98e71_o.jpg" width="746" height="506" alt="TVR Sagaris" / >< /a >

to this:

[ url ][ img ]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/173/467150196_1e3bf98e71_o.jpg[ /img ]|http://www.flickr.com/photos/binaryimage/467150196/[ /url ]

Any chance?

Flickr don't like it though. Seems like they have started doing something about it:
