There have been lots of discussions about default configuration of
rtehtmlarea in the last month in the typo3.project.rte group, have you
followed it? The result was a the current three-choices default
configuration. I would suggest to discuss the matter directly with
Stanislau on that group, since he's already did lots of work on that and
has always listened to suggestions and ideas.

Search for "default" in the subjects of the t.p.rte group and you'll
find the thread. Ben, Michael, Stucki, Kai, Peter and others have taken
part of that discussion.

Cheers,
