The rendering is supposedly HTML 2.0, but it doesn't even support that 
very well.  Strangely enough, if you look at the JFC 1.1 examples, you 
will see writing to a JEditorPane with attributes (not HTML tags), and it 
does bold and italics and whatnot very well.

So they *COULD* render it correctly if they wanted to.  The support is 
already there.  I have a feeling that they *PURPOSELY* made the HTML 
rendering quite bad so that you would buy the HotJava component (or some 
other HTML rendering component for $$$).
