In this case spec calls for an upload file function -- if the user was typing this into a text box, believe me I would use HTMLArea -- though given that it doesn't work on all browsers, unless you can honestly say that all the program's users all the time will have access to Moz or IE (and for instance my local public library, if you take a Mac you've only got Safari to work with), you really should have an alternate means of input anyway.

HTMLTidy is also a case of not working with spec (though goddess it would make my life simpler), because it requires access to the command line to install. This is a low end CMS -- assuming the required modules exist or are installed for you by your host (and nothing called for by this is too outre) all you'd need to use this is ftp access and permission to run cgis.
