It's main purpose is to change a double line break into <p> tags I think.  If you're looking for
better tag-balancing and cleaning, there are a couple of plugins that might do a better job for you.
 Off the top of my head, I can think of X-Valid (disclaimer: mine), wptidy and a plugin based on
HTML purifier (though I'm not sure if that was actually released).

Cheers,

Jamie.
