Some existing tags, mostly related to creating new lines, are getting stripped from out of Filtered html content on drumbeat project pages. Since "Filtered html" is now the default and only option for input format, this has resulted in a number of very ugly pages. 

The prime example is <p>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add <p></p> tags to text
2. Save
3. Reload
Actual Results:  
View source reveals that the <p></p> tags are still there, but the text is not being rendered accordingly, i.e. no line breaks or new lines accompany the </p> tag. Text simply flows together as if all in one giant paragraph

Expected Results:  
line breaks after </p> tags, blank lines between </p> and <p>

Some other tags lose new lines as well. When the text display type initially moved exclusively to filtered html, </ul> produced a blank line. Now it no longer does. <h1,2,3,etc> Produce new lines as expected, as does <dd>, though <dl> does not.
