Dear Tom,
do you have any references to those court cases? Sounds very
interesting. RTF is in Slovakia one of the officialy approved standards
to be used by public administration (besides pdf, odf and HTML). Of
course, since MS is everywhere and everybody uses RTF. Information about
those court trials would be a nice argument against RTF, the
compatibility of which in LO/OO/OOO is really pain. This would show why
is it so.

The software you are using right now is a reference implementation for
ODF. ODF is an ISO standard for office documents since 2006. It is the
only standard which does not depend on a single vendor, which is
perfectly documented, extremely stable with a feature set close to
MSOffice, easy enough to implement without any legal issues.
For RTF I use to recommend the free (as in "free beer") WinWord viewer
software by Microsoft or the MS WordPad which they put on all their
computers.
