Are you referring to the converter attribute here: "
http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/editor.jsf?c=editor&tab=info".
 It looked like a straight carry over of the tag description from the base.

Is there an example of this?  We need to make this more obvious and perhaps
provide some examples of how to use it.

Also- if this is the case then "useSeamText" is really "useConverter" in
which case we not need it since we should be able to tell is it is set or
not.  Do you agree?
