Description
Current svn status at time of reporting: r9225.
Context: Going through the process of installing a new plugin via the new built-in installer in WP 2.7 (trunk)
Error: the lightbox interface showing the plugin's information does not parse the plugin's readme file the same way that the regular wordpress.org interface does.
Example: backticks for preformatted text are not respected.
See attached screenshots for comparison.

- Summary changed from Readme parser formatting errors in plugin install process to plugin install information dialog strips some valid HTML
The range of HTML which the plugin installer allows is currently limited, It seems i forgot to allow pre along with a few others:
http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php#L377
Can anyone think of other tags which need to be allowed?

I'd suggest the ones allowed by http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/validator/, if you can get access to the info.
Or covered in the standard readme: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/readme.txt

if you can get access to the info.
The bbpress plugin used on wordpress.org/extend/ is on the bbpress plugin tracker somewhere, I'll go locate that again later and base it off that perhaps. I think <pre> might be one of the only tags missed.. (But it needs some more CSS for the display)

(Oh, I found the bbPress plugin for wordpress.org, But couldnt find the readme parser, So i've possibly not covered *Every* possibility)

Also, headers (ie. <h4>) need not be striped.
Lists may also need some extra styling and extra paddings.
Eg, Compare the cforms wordpress.org page to the builtin browser.

Note: backticks (`) are respected from a font-family perspective, but are not preformatted. See text underneath "This should result in something very similiar to the following file structure:" in screenshots.
