Well, with the current way it works, the closing tag means that *any* closing tag (not just fonts) will return to the default setting for that tag, which has its own uses! (But there is the <clear> tag already for clearing everything to default I suppose...) I guess I think of them more like programming the text as it's read out, rather than formatting existing text? I think I wrote a bit about this system int he docs, but I could make it a bit clearer. Anyway, should all still be workable!
