I was wondering for some time why HTML exported by KWord, always was using 
<P> ... </P> for every paragraph.
While at a first glance it seems logical, almost for every paragraph you 
redefine style (font size, color, font name, etc.)
It's much more convinient to use DIV, instead of <P>, for every paragraph. 
Then you don't have such limitations.

At a moment, you just can't have nested paragraphs :-((
It's a real limitation for page layouting, IMO.
Changing P to DIV allows to fix it.

As KWord uses XML internally, I do not think that implementing such changes 
will be difficult.

BTW: I found serious inconsistance when view exported from KWord HTML in 
different browsers.
Reason: KHTML uses to much space *before* and *after* <P> (about 1em in each 
case), while Mozilla - only half of it.
So IMO it's not good to count *default* behavior/style for P tag, it's better 
to define it each time (or to have extra option for this)
