Is there any way to prevent pasting rich text? I can strip out the tag soup, but it would be great to have the option to only allow pasting plain text.

Nopes - you have to cleanup the result of the paste.

As soon as you enable designmode on a document, every paste coming from something like Word will be transformed into delicious tag soup for you to deal with. No way to just disable that 'feature'.
