Trevor,
When a browser renders "<p></p>" it displays nothing.
Correct htmlText starts and ends with p tags. That's the LiveCode
convention. Anything else is not htmlText. Therefore, if a text is
empty, to have valid htmlText the propety still needs to return the tags.
Currently, we wil always know for sure whether data is htmlText or not.
If we remove the tags, there is no way to know if data is htmlText if
that data happens to be empty.

Maybe it helps (or hinders) to consider the fact the following renders as
empty in a web browser, even though clearly there is code content present:

True. But doesn't <p></p> mean that you have 1 empty paragraph? I think
that the HTML returned by LiveCode (1 empty paragraph) is different than
what is present in the field (nothing).
Since the htmltext is a property of a field, and no an entire document, I'm
inclined to say that the htmltext should return empty and not <p></p> when
there is not text present.
