I haven't done any testing with 2009r2 or 2009r2.1, but I had enormous  
problems while trying to get this to work on Linux.  At the time it  
looked like RB was adding spurious characters into the string when  
creating StyledText.RTFData on Linux that was hosing up the display  
when the string was pulled back out.
But everything worked great on Windows and OS X.

So if you plan to deploy to Linux, test thoroughly.
