I for one prefer removing the paragraph. For me, this is clearly an OO
shortcoming. Vincent, the idea is not about paragraphs inside table
cells in general, but about this particular paragraph that obviously
shouldn't be there. The HTML generated by OO is just an intermediary,
we're not interested in keeping it as much as possible in the wiki, we
just want to extract the data from it and convert it to wiki syntax. The
Office importer transforms office documents to wiki documents, and not
HTML to wiki. OO wrongly puts paragraphs in there, and the fact that the
same HTML looks much different in a browser than the document looks in
OO is a good enough argument, IMO.
