As long as they remove some of the less useful closing tags - </p> is not
of much use, IMHO.  It's cleaner, I think, to code:

<p>
This is a paragraph.
<p>
This is another paragraph.
<p>
And yet one more.
<br>

than to litter your page with </p>'s that just seem redundant.  To be, <p>
is like <br> with a kick.

Most other tags though, I agree with your point.

Cheers!
