I guess the comments get re-formatted properly. ;)

htmlcorrector module should be used for this.

that's such a shame, because the default filter does a very good job at filtering the input, with this one exception.

I don't think it would be too hard to adapt something along the lines of:

to fix the filter the rest of the way.

Put this issue to rest. When there is a contrib module which is excellent for the task and it's not crucial -- who said that every Drupal site lets you enter raw HTML? -- then it's won't fix.
