Comment (by jdub):

 Unfortunately, you've just simplified it slightly too much. :-)

 The element whitespace smarts was pretty crucial to why I wrote the
 function, given that the input can look like this:

 {{{
 <p>This is a paragraph in which the
 wpautop() <a href="#elsewhere">wrapping will
 happen in the middle</a> of an
 anchor, which is an inline element.</p>

 <pre>
 But at the same time, we wouldn't want
 the newlines to be removed from within
 a block element such as a <pre>.
 </pre>
 }}}

 With element whitespace smarts, the newlines in the middle of the
 {{{<p>}}} will be removed (so as not to be replaced with a {{{<br/>}}}
 during {{{wpautop()}}}, but those within the {{{<pre>}}} will not.

 I'll write up another simplified patch that keeps this (and will also
 include using this function in other HTML-consuming importers).

 Thanks. :-)
