But if they only mark everything up as <p> then there's no way of CSS 
deciding which ones are supposed to be <h1/2/3/4> or where the bold text 
goes?  In DW they set a heading type and they can see immediately that 
it's, eg, not orange and know they've put in the wrong one, plus DW will 
remember to put in a closing tag (and also an actual closing tag with a 
slash in it, which is something people seem to forget), and the 
stylesheet will format it all as intended and it will all still validate 
(or it would do if the graphic designer hadn't foisted a flash 
navigation banner on us).
