good point...i tried mucking up lists in tinymce and it did a good job 
of avoiding bad formatting...if anyone wants to spend some time testing 
tinymce this would be great:
http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/full.php

we really want to try and see if the formatting gets bad from abnormal 
use ie.
* empty tags
* redundant nested tags (especially with lists)
* miscellaneous strange artifacts
