It is not a matter of presentation inside the editor. Actually nobody would be
using an editor to read things. The problem here Justin is that the editor is
used to produce content, which will be used somewhere else. Then, we have two
issues:

 - Developers, which will be unhappy to have the editor producing unneeded
HTML. They get really disappointed with such things;

 - Incorrect link styles when placing the contents inside a page (the common
case). The page could (and usually) have styles completely different from those
used inside the editor. Also, the same content can be targeted to different
pages or even sites, with style completely different.
