We've considred this when we've first developed the forum and have come to a decision to support only 1 method at a time.
Supporting both can create confusion, since compatible HTML code would be converted to FUDcode etc...
I also STRONGLY recommend NOT to allow people to use HTML, since allowing users to insert HTML can allow users to create security issues but also break your layout.
For example: <img src="javascript: alert('HAHA');"> would result in an alter for every IE user, while an alert in not harmful by itself while(1) alert(); would cause a Denial Of Service Attack.
Considering how trivially easily it is to DOS a computer using JavaScript I believe allow people to enter raw HTML into their own messages is VERY BAD idea.
