I guess we are not able to agree on that.

However, I can say that I am surprised.  Using htmlText cannot even  
handle spaces correctly.  To me this means there is no intent to  
render HTML.  That, to me, seems clear.  Based on that, I am  
surprised that there is an attempt to filter out <title> when that  
isn't even in the body.  More over it seems silly to implement  
something not even in the body when basic things that can be handled  
by the field are not event attempted.  Personally, I don't find that  
consistent.

I'm almost convinced, though, that htmlText should work as you  
suggest.  If so, that means it is buggy.  That's the bad news.  The  
good news is that we can submit those bugs.

In HTML.  In htmlText it means lines.

That is not part of a field.

I must be behind in my HTML.
