I assume that mandating all engines have built-in RTF parsers/converters to translate back and forth between RTF and HTML is going too far.. Apparently IE did / does just that, but even so it seems like RTF is generally fading away. Would it be a possible compromise to let a script describe data

Does anyone else have input for/against this? Conceptually, I guess RTF sort of covers the same use cases as HTML. That doesn't necessarily mean we should not add it. I don't have input as such, but I have a few questions: Is there any widely used software that writes RTF data to the system
