We are currently playing with some improvements to our text support.  Currently these changes focus on improving the visual effects you can accomplish with text, but may indirectly result in better rich text editing.  I would expect that we will have a pretty good idea of what will be possible in around a month, although the features may not be completely implemented by then.

Cheers,

Aaron
