Is there some way to remove italic tags (<i> and </i>, but this could apply to other tags as well) from a selected group of paragraphs in the Editor?

I ask because almost all the time, the author/publisher italicizes things with those tags in the HTML instead of with a css style. So far, the only things I've come up with are manually selecting each tag pair and deleting them, or marking the selection and running a Regex search/replace on the marked text:

Code:

find: (<p[^>]*>)<i>(.+?)</i>([\.\?]+)?</p>
replace: \1\2\3</p>

Reason: better code for finding all-italic paragraphs*
