Pasting as plain text loses all the formatting--fonts, bold, italic, size, and so on, so that isn't what anyone would want, cutting and pasting. Pasting into HTML with a regular paste gets doubled spacing between paragraphs, which requires extensive editing. Neither option is good. Conclusion: This may be by design, but the design is flawed.
