           Summary: WebKit execCommand bold/italic should remove strong/em
                    tags (since IE inserts them)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing

WebKit execCommand bold/italic should remove strong/em tags (since IE inserts
them)

Our current behavior can be seen here:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/editing/execCommand/toggle-styles-expected.txt?rev=40139

FAIL italic removing em -- <em><span class="Apple-style-span"
style="font-style: normal;">test</span></em>

The problem is that IE inserts <em> for the "italic" execCommand and <strong>
for the "bold" command.  So we should remove them if we want to interoperate
nicely.

FF3 does not remove either of these tags.  Ojan has strongly recommended that
we diverge from FF here and remove the tags just like we currently remove <b>
and <i>.
