Has anyone every changed any of these fields to rich text?     I know how I'd pull it off, but I'm looking to hear about consequences I may not have considered.

Don't use HTML for any fields that you will need to access outside of a form (reporting, listview, scripts, ODBC, etc). The markup is stored in the field and it will be shown with markup characters anywhere it can't be rendered.



You could add an additional field for HTML, but I'd advise against changing the OOB fields on the task table.

Oh, great point Brendan Aye.   I've leveraged the visible markup in list views a number of time for Knowledge (the default editor doesn't like embedded video code, and has to be manually updated via list view).   Hadn't thought about those ramifications.
