 I don't know where to begin, but it needs a major overhaul.

 For example, make a post with this:

 {{{
 Test<object>Blah</object>
 }}}

 That's perfectly valid XHTML.

 It results in this:

 {{{
 <p>Test<br />
 <object>Blah</object>
 }}}

 No closing `</p>` and a `<br />` that shouldn't be there.

 It also really likes putting `<br />`'s inside `<object>` tags even when
 there was no line break there.

 The list goes on an on and it affects more than just `<object>` tags. As I
 said, I dunno where to start...
