Just to chime in with a couple additional reasons why support for this command
is important:

* The size of the html generated by contentEditable in Webkit is always much
larger than that generated by IE or FF (with styleWithCSS false).  For large
documents, there are a lot of bytes consisting of "<span
class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">" that could be replaced
with "<b>".  These bytes really add up: for applications doing auto-save, this
is a lot of extra network bandwidth being used up.  But even more practically,
this slows down the initial load of a page that has html generated with Webkit
since there are so many more bytes to download and parse.  So in a way, it does
lead to a poorer user experience in Webkit based browsers.

* For rich text editing apps that need to work across different browsers (for
instance for collaboration), having markup that is this different leads to a
number of issues where the other browsers can't undo formatting created in
Webkit.
