No. Bad UI design is allowing the user to save something in a file
which doesn't reflect what's currently on-screen.

c.f. TextEdit's requirement of conversion to plain text and the
accompanying transformation of appearance on-screen before saving as
plain text with the myriad dialog warnings in Microsoft Office about
certain file formats not supporting all features.
