What about this: While it seems very "bloated" to carry all rich text formating _inside_ formula cells, it might be possible to create an overlay using advanced formating _outside_. Think of this as having a separate spreadsheet (linked 1:1 to the generating spreadsheet) with the "only" property to add formating to the pointed results. (Export as text -> reformat) Do you see a chance to solve the problem this way?
Sure. But this would require a re-design of a non-trivial part of the Calc core. Basically we would have to remove use of EditEngine and its friend and re-implement Calc's own rich-text handling framework.
The question is, is this all worth the benefit? I personally think it's too risky just for a marginal gain, and goes back to what I'd said earlier:

It all comes down to risk/effort vs benefit.
