I think there are two things going on here.

One is the structure of the code.  I think it's fine to structure things
so that outside code can continue to reuse miscellaneous bits of the
various modes.  I mean, I think it's a pain since there's nothing
in-tree indicating what can or cannot be done; but assuming someone can
review patches, then it'll be ok.

The other thing is what the user sees.  I think it would be bad to tell
users that to get full html support, including support for embedded js
and css, they must do anything at all -- the default mode ought to
support this.

It's not clear to me if you mean you disagree with the second thing.
