So tell me, if one assumes the label approach (which I believe is present

Because if it's in the content, then recipients will see it and assume
something is broken.
What's the difference, really, between a label and an HTML tag?
Are you proposing the use of a profile of HTML, which requires the <html>
prefix and permits only the use of the <p>, <pre> and <br> tags?
That's equivalent to creating a new markup language in my book, something
which I believe would be even less successful than text/enriched. One
certainly can't re-use the text/html label for such a profile as there are
deployed clients which deliberately don't display text/html to the user
because it's almost always unreadable (I'm using one such client).
