No real HTML with BUEditor without extra work --- doesn't than create issues when line breaker filter not available?

I have been reading about and playing with the BUEditor and I like it a whole lot after blowing so many frustrating hours on bandwidth-heavy and complicated WYSIWYG editors like TinyMCE.
But as far as I know so far, the only way to create html pages is to create html buttons for each desired tag and then highlight text and click on buttons to, say, add P tags around a paragraph.
Without going through that process, the text pasted from Word or any html source will appear only with line breaks where there should be P tags. The P tags appear in the output only with the line breaker filter in operation.
I don't have any conflict with the line breaker filter. But what happens when the filter is not available? I am thinking of when sending a page by email or reading the content through RSS or XML or some other scenario I can't think of.
The bottom line is that unless the content creator goes through the process of adding tags -- something time-consuming for long pages -- nodes created by BUEditor are not html pages. All text renders as a long and very unusable string of text without the line breaker filter.
Isn't that a concern for developers and admins? Have you ever run into scenarios where the line break filter and your design rendered incorrectly?
Or is there some module or function that can go through text and replace all the line breaks with P tags before the content is submitted?

BUEditor does not conflict with the linebreak editor. Use them together?
#2
I'm saying it NEEDS the linebreak filter in order to put the
tags in the html sent to the page. The text it creates does not have
tags in it.

That's right, what's the problem?

You're right. I usually disable line break filter for Full HTML in order to code pure HTML. However this has nothing to do with BUEditor as it doesn't filter the input/output except in Preview function. The default behavior of the preview in BUEditor is to assume the filter is Full HTML with line break filter active. You can however change this by creating a preview button with the content js:eDefPreview(true), which will disable line break filter.

My question was whether the lack of
tags inside the node content could create issues in situations when the line breaker filter is not available. Does anyone know of any such situation when not having the
tag already inline could lead to the text displaying without line breaks.
