15657	wp_strip_all_tags causes paragraphs to run together	jwz		"If a post contains HTML like ""foo<p>bar"", the RSS feed ends up with the text ""foobar"" instead of the more appropriate ""foo bar"" or even ""foo\n\nbar"".

Here is a simple patch to wp-includes/formatting.php that fixes this: basically, convert <p>, <br> and certain similar tags to newlines before calling the PHP-builtin strip_tags() function.
