I know this issue has been discussed before, but it is still very 
difficult to write proper paragraphs with Editor...

The main problems wrt. paragraphs are:
* Editor doesn't use real paragraphs by default but dumps the text 
directly inside <body>
* In a word processor one would press return once to insert a paragraph 
break. In Editor you have to press return twice! Pressing return only 
once inserts a forced like break.
* If you are typing in a header and press return twice, Editor reverts 
to "Body Text" instead of starting a new paragraph.

Since these are design decisions instead of accidental bugs, I am 
starting discussion here. Is there any chance the defaults could be 
changed so that:
* "Paragraph" would be the default block mode (IMO "Body Text" could be 
removed altogether.)
* Pressing return *once* would insert a paragraph break (word processors 
work like this)
* Pressing return in a heading would close the heading and starts a new 
paragraph (word processors work like this)

These changes would facilitate writing HTML the way intended in the spec.

(I have written a document about working around the problems, but I 
still think doing the Right Thing should be the default. The document is
