Jon:

For the typical text enhancement--bold, italic, underline (oy, oy, oy!!), using the toolbar will insert the html commands of b, i and u. As discussed on another thread, those may need to be regexed into conforming code for ePUBcheck. But they don't create that "crap" that we're all bitching about.

What most people do that causes issues is using the tab and other keyboard keys, that causes those infamous crap spans. When they highlight a section of text, and then apply direct formatting for font sizes, colors, and font. THAT will always cause issues. Using the tab key to try to force a blockquote, ditto. For those, abalooley, Styles should be created and used appropriately.
