On the issue of tinyMCE mangling html, you can also look at my related
drupal.org forum comment:

http://drupal.org/node/325491#comment-1200365

The short version is that you can extend the list of html that tinymce
knows about and won't destroy.

This doesn't address the larger problem of users editing things they
don't understand and inadvertently mangling them. For that, we have to
unfortunately live with the perl-inspired original-sin-type awareness
that "all user input is tainted".
