wpautop and other WordPress filters make it so. If you really want to
edit your HTML and have it served as-is, write a quick plugin that
removes all of the output filters.

Look in the database. If you have the unfiltered_html capability, you
will find exactly what you typed in the editor. The HTML you see on
the blog is filtered on output, not save. See
wp-includes/default-filters.php.
