There are some file types that the Wiki developers considered too
dangerous to allow to upload. So they're not allowed even if you
think you've configured it to "allow everything". I don't know enough
to defend or criticize this decision, but I assume the developers know
what they're doing.
This includes Open Office files. I'll bet it includes anything with XML.
I designated a place covered by an apache server to place such files,
then defined a template to take the file name & convert it to the
appropriate link. That way, if I move the location, I can just update
the template.
