I think the RichTextArea is really a great widget! As always, be very
careful when you use the result HTML. Parse the result on the server
side, and eliminate unwanted tags and also unwanted attributes (like
'onClick'). This isn't so easy, because you probably want to allow
exactly the kind of HTML that a user can produce by interacting with
the RichTextArea's controls.

I think it might be a good idea for GWT to provide a utility method
which can perform this kind of filtering (on the server side). OTOH,
this will probably require to build a real parser, because it's one of
the things that regular expressions can't do.
