The default input format (content filter) is filtered HTML. This filter can be modified by the administer.

But if we look at the default install, I think it filters too much. Most of the time when I'm creating a new site, my clients have html (usually in word documents) that they intend to copy and paste. For me, I know I should use the FULL HTML content filter. But this issue got me to thinking...

How was the current set of html tags established? Is it optimal? Should we be including more html tags in by default in the filter?

Since the time I wrote this, I have learned how to manipulate installation profiles to change the default "Text Format" (as they are now called in drupal 7). I think I understand the question I was asked when I originally wrote this issue. I was asking if we could look at the markup that Filtered HTML removes and see if there is room for improvement for making the "filter" either less or more strict.
