Bad idea.  Authors should submit with proper markup.

Don't remove <br> or <hr>.  There are both useful in articles and may be
necessary to illustrate a point.

Additionally, please add <caption>

This brings up the point of styles and scripts (and other, currently
restricted, tags).  If they're necessary for an article, how is an author to
add them?
