<p>"Yada yada."</p>
While I've used paragraphs in this example they could be spans or divs. But wouldn't the non-value add stripping run the risk of merging this conversation into a single run-on comment by the first speaker?

My parsing method makes no "value" judgement. IF you had something like:
Code:
<span>"Yada, yada yada yada," he said.</span>
<span>"Blah! Blah, blah blah, blah blah blah</span>
<span>"Yada yada."</span>
and you tell the tool to delete any spans that have no attributes at all ... it will dutifully do so. The assumption here is that you KNOW what it is you want to delete/modify. But if you do happen to fudge something up, the differences dialog will show you what change were made and give you the option to cancel/revert those changes. It also sets a check point so you can return to the state before you ran the tool.

Also the less frequently seen monologue of multiple paragraphs, which lacks a closing quotation mark until the final paragraph.

that's the smartening tool. And it handles that situation pretty well.
