I think it'd have to be cleaned up a good deal.  The HTML it generates 
is ugly as sin.

Note that two carriage returns get translated to two <br /> tags (we 
don't want that, we want WP to do it's paragraph magic on it).  Also, 
notice that "bolded" text is given a span, instead of <strong></strong>

I think that the idea is worthy of consideration, as some people will 
never be comfortable with editing plain HTML, but it has to be done in a 
way that generates clean code, and can be used in all major browsers.
