I completely disagree. As a user, I want semantics when I write my blog
entry on WordPress so that I can tweak presentation afterwards.  e.g. I have
frequently used em {font-style: normal; font-weight:bold;} strong
{text-decoration:underline; font-weight: normal;} in the past.

And when I press enter, I want a paragraph separator NOT a line break.
