           Summary: Extra font tag created when changing fonts
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sullivan at google.com

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Midas Demo: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/
2. Enter the following HTML:
<font face="Arial">text</font>
(This is what IE generates when setting the font to Arial.)
3. Uncheck "View HTML Source", highlight "text", and change font to Courier.

Actual result:
<font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier">text</font></font>

Expected result:
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier">text</font>
or just
<font face="Courier">text</font>

Lots of editing on different browsers can result in a document filling up with
redundant tags. This makes it harder and harder to change the font correctly on
all browsers.
