I always allow tricks and stunts, but I never go in for shenanigans.
I'd add:
Smashing the heads of two enemies together to knock them out.
Tricking a foe in charging at you, dodging at the last second, and having them end up off a cliff.
Attacking a ceiling to cause a cave-in.

Oh that's beautiful. Thanks. Good examples.
I'll add a few more of my own:
Lassoing an enemy with a rope.
Hog tying an enemy after grappling them.
There is also one that I've been loathe to mention because it's only viable in the general case in systems with non-abstract damage (or at least, I've never been able to come up with a way to resolve it fairly in abstract systems):
Specifically calling out what part of the foe you are striking.

Oddly enough, in my present game, a character used his alchemy skill to create a magical bomb, which he tied to a live goat that they intended to use to kill a peryton. When it failed to work, they left the goat in the stables still with a bomb about its neck... and then promptly forgot about it.
They returned to find that the stables had blown up and an innkeeper demanding repatriations for the damage.

In a recent session with my 4e home group, the ranger wanted to swing by a rope across the front of a tower keep and see if she could knock the wights that were climbing down it off. I decided she had to make a hard acrobatics check and if she succeeded, the wights got a saving throw to hold onto the wall. I believe she knocked three of the four wights off the wall.
