I'd vote for that. Most of our customers set:

        Allow IFrame Tags = disarm
        Allow Form Tags = disarm
        Allow Script Tags = disarm
        Allow WebBugs = disarm
        Allow Object Codebase Tags = disarm

And then a few add rule sets for to allow some sites, but disarm is safe and
seems to be acceptable at most sites.
