If I understood your suggestion properly, you're advocating restoring
tags directly, not manipulating the formatting bits. In that case, it's
quite possible that the buttons will be out of sync, as you're bypassing
the code that updates them when the format is updated. I'm not sure if
that's the case or not.

No, I'm talking about this:

1. Insert a link.
2. Paste some text.
3. Type some text.

In that case, only the content from #1 should be linked. If we restore
tags, #3 would end up being linked, if hyperlinks are represented as
tags (which I think they are).

In general, I'd agree with this, but in this case, I'm not sure it's the
right approach. I'm not sure it's the wrong approach either, though. I'd
have to do some looking and/or implementing-and-testing to see.
