As soon as something can be rendered, it can be represented as HTML+CSS (more or less precisely); yes, it might lead to generated content becoming non-generated after conversion, but as a user I see it _much_ less evil than complete disappearing of generated content. Let's consider very simple case: copy-paste of ordered list into plain text; as a user, I see disappearing numbering as completely unacceptable. If there are doubts about common perception of this problem among end-users, I would suggest to conduct a survey (after all, it is programs that should be made to meet people expectations, not vice versa).
