p has default margins. That alone is enough for us not to adopt p as
the default paragraph separator. Also, unfortunately, there are many legacy
contents that rely on the fact webkit uses div as the paragraph separator
so we need a global or per editing-host switch regardless.

I almost want a global switch to toggle between legacy UA-specific behavior
and new spec-compliant behavior.
