Rightly so, according to the inventor of the LiveCode engine: Dr. Raney
once explained to me that the purpose of htmlText is to provide an
easily-manipulatable way to faithfully reproduce the entire contents and
styles within a field or chunk.
Anything less is indeed a bug report. :)
I like the idea of using arrays to manipulate field contents, but alas
we have so much missing from the the styledText representation at the
moment.
