Dear God Save Me From HTML Hell!

I'm not quite sure what it is, but the Google Site HTML editor is absolutely retarded! It chooses the most obscure, odd ways of doing what seems to be the most easy of tasks.

Take for example, the task of inserting a simple Javascript RSS feed reader. It's a fairly straight-forward installation. But with Google Sites, it has to be a Google Gadget, with its own specified height and width. And, after you insert it, the HTML editor decides it will randomly insert around 25 lines of whitespace for no apparent reason. Seriously, for a company employing the top minds in computer science, you'd think this kind of crap wouldn't happen.

That being said, I still love their platform architecture, just not their front-end implementation.

And what's wrong with b, or more correctly strong tags? We don't need span tags littering up the HTML all over the place.

Also, let's try putting a majority of the text in p tags, as div just isn't appropriate for text, imho.

Google, want to hire me to fix it?

Update

Google has updated it's Google Sites HTML engine, and no longer does things quite as poorly as before. I must say, for all the little gripes I have with random software companies, few of them show a dedication to getting things right like Google. Things may be a bit broken for a while, but sooner rather than later, a patch will come out making everything ok.

But this still doesn't excuse them for their silly gadget-insertion stuff. It needs a bit of rework.

Update 2

I was prematurely happy. It still throws in a very large amount of whitespace crap. Oh well.
