 * but the CSS in “edit post” made it impossible. Phew.

 * I’m not sure I understand; these are all PHP functions that, if you have appropriate
   access, you can use in your scripts and plugins in whatever manner you choose.
   Akismet wouldn’t have anything to do with that.

 * I am referring to php.ini settings and proper execution of Akismet may not work
   with all of the above.
 * Other examples are allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include

 * Akismet should function fine with all of those functions disabled (inasmuch as
   WordPress itself will continue to function).
