Maybe users cannot 'input' HTML, but in some cases you still want to use
an inputtext to display HTML.
Examples:
1) You want to display HTML formatted text, but you also want to have
inputtext look&feel
2) To insert pre-formatted text with line breaks in an inputtext. Just
one day ago I've responded to this thread [1] in the German OpenLaszlo
forum and that thread was about exactly this issue!

Start here:
http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-7533
and follow the links.
I believe the current received wisdom is that input text is _not_ HTML unless
you ask for it. (And if you think about it, you should never ask for it
either. How could a user 'input' HTML?)
