Comment (by sabernhardt):

 I removed the Roman numerals in addition to other letters because:
 1. The most common and appropriate numeral to convert would be `I.` (one),
 but that would not fit if the paragraph starts with a name such as I. M.
 Pei.
 2. Other initials with IVXLCDM would have similar issues.
 2. M. and MM. are French abbreviations for Monsieur and Messieurs ("M.
 Dupont", "MM. Dupont et Durand").
 3. The version in WordPress did not get the update to support longer
 numerals (iii, vii, xii, xiii, etc.).

 Even though TinyMCE Paste dropped the entire filter, I kept the pattern
 for numbers.
