I think the consensus here was that differentiating "machine-generated"
markup (where a block tag is often incorrectly spanned by an inline tag,
and therefore where the inline should be duplicated in the next block) from
"hand-generated" markup (where an inline fails to terminate at the next
block tag due to inadvertent omission of the terminating tag, and therefore
where the inline termination should be inserted) wasn't easily possible
from the HTML context. Therefore, a configuration option to choose one of
these two behaviors would be welcome (with the current behavior as the
default -- principle of least surprise).
