I think, when talking about a Rich Text Widget, people thinking about a 
text input facitily that allows one to define different text alignment, 
fonts (font families), styles (like bold or italics), colors, bullet lists 
and perhaps even images and tables.  At last I don't think about 
Microsoft's RTF file format here.

In the above sense, no.  HTML spec is a file format but there's also no 
interactive HTML editor.  Scamper can render a subset of HTML but that not 
enough to qualify as an rich text widget.  It's close to that definition 
though.
