[wp-hackers] overly aggressive replacement of <em> tags with <i>?

[Alan J Castonguay]

I was editing in RCE, hopping over to code view, and repasting the 
<embed> string each time. It's good to know that issue has been 
corrected though, I'll stop looking and `svn up' once I have some time 
to fix any ensuing weirdness. Thanks.
