Comment(by kwdavids):

 Could someone explain why something that used to work and stopped working
 is not a defect?

 I'm trying to be patient here, but one of the most popular features on my
 blog is this huge color-coded HTML table that needs frequent updating, and
 it is virtually impossible to maintain in WordPress because of the
 limitations of the visual editor in handling tables, and the limitations
 of the HTML editor in editing complicated HTML and in the fact that it
 converts every carriage return/linefeed to  <br />.

 Back at WordPress 2.8, I could just copy and paste from the visual display
 of my HTML editor, and everything was fine. Now what I consider a major
 public service on my blog is unmaintainable. I'll probably have to
 redesign the whole thing from scratch.

 Even Microsoft Word's publish to blog gets mangled.

 I'm having a crisis here and folks are saying "oh, let's call it feature."
