I think you might be accused of twisting people's words again. :-) The
above description suggests that it renders html well. I didn't see
anybody making that claim.
Better perhaps...
The htmlText renders html kinda.

I'm at a loose end, let's waste a bit more bandwidth...
My take here is that the fact that the htmltext does as you say above
"renders html kinda." is a side-effect of its true purpose. I see its
purpose as to allow access to RR field text formatting information in a
text-only form that can be readily understood, stored and manipulated.
This is a more user-friendly alternative to a binary stylerun for
instance. A pseudo-html syntax was adopted to implement this, which has
the side-effect that some html can be rendered in an RR field "kinda".
I agree with others that the name of the property probably misleads more
often than it explains.
