I also believe there are various interpretations of rtf, which makes things a
bit confusing. 

There are some authoring modes that will produce rtf format. I think muse mode
can do this (as well as thml, xhtml, latex, pdf, postscript, texinfo and some
others. Muse mode is a wiki like mode and supports things like lists, tables,
footnotes etc. 

There are also some modes that can transform buffers into various output
formats. I'm not sure, but bhl-mode might do rtf.
