But a feature request. I'd like to be able to paste HTML code directly into posts, much like how I can do that with a gmail message, and have it be rendered correctly. This would be a boon for posting direct copy/pastes from various web pages, preserving all formatting.
I'm thinking of a <html> </html> syntax. Could that be relatively easily done?

If I understand you correctly, we can already do this. Using HTML is how I italicized part of your post.

Do you mean the use of some specific html-like tags, like < i > text < / i > (omitting the spaces)?
Yes, a few of those formatting tags work, but general html code does not. I'm thinking of things like:
<html> 10<sup>1000000</sup> or 10<sup>10<sup>6</sup></sup> </html>
This is just a simple example using nested <sup> (superscript) tags, but there are perhaps hundreds of allowed html tags that browsers are responsible for rendering.
To implement this "easily" here, you'd want to punt the rendering to the browser instead of trying to handle each of the hundreds of html tags in additional custom code. Not sure how practical that would be for Manlobbi to do here. Hopefully he weighs in!

Yes. If your version does the same as mine, not sure why you would complicate it like that. What expansion of options would your higher key stroke approach give you?

The point would mainly be to allow copy/paste from web pages, in order to preserve formatting like tables, different fonts, different colors, etc., just like you can do now with gmail messages. Yes, you could also manually create and enter raw html like I did with my <sup> example, but that wouldn't be the primary use.
