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.
