You assume the user knows what they want before they start. They don't. They're not *programming* here.
You're not making sense. Of course the user knows what they want... they want to put certain content with certain formatting into a page. If they get anything other than that, something has gone wrong. We may as well admit to it rather than pretending they wanted something else.
A new parser that issues the user with error messages from what they typed in - rather than just producing rubbish as now - will, I predict, be considered unacceptable.
