I don't think it's a good idea to reformat all the existing markup until the user makes a change. We should try to modify not too much more than we actually need to to achieve the desired changes. At the same time, I definitely think we should simplify the markup in the places we do change it, so that continual execCommand() usage doesn't build up endless cruft. In this case I'd be inclined to agree that converting to <b> makes more sense, once you're already pushing the markup down, but it's not a big deal.
