It's certainly not an impassible problem and I don't think it's a bug either. It is a little inconsistent from a strict Livecode perspective and might cause some confusion. The key concept to remember, for newbies and old farts like me alike, is that the htmlText is a property for FORMATTING text, it is not THE TEXT. Use it with respect and caution. Maybe a little clarification in the htmlText entry of the dictionary would be sufficient.
