I don't follow this logic:

    TextEdit can render HTML.
    TextEdit removes title.
    Rev fields remove title.
    Therefore...
    Rev field can render HTML.

Try this (similar to above):

<html>
<body>
a       b
</body>

TextEdit will render the multiple spaces correctly as a single  
space.  Revolution fields will not.

That is because Revolution does not render HTML.  It does not even try.
