Excellent post. I have to add that from a Wysisyg editor's perspective,
and I said it many times in the past, ins and del are almost the only
elements that are intrinsicly block-level AND inline-level.
In other terms, if you select the whole text inside a paragraph and
remove it, it is <p><del>foo</del></p> or <del><p>foo</p></del> ?
Discrimination is impossible, it's a nightmare.
