Kind of depends on where this document would be used though. On the Internet? Amazing. On the desktop? Weird!

That loops back to the original question though, does it not? Ie., if this document is really large, how would he do this HTML+CSS -> RTF conversion?

Perhaps your requirements for RTF formatting are simple enough that you can create the document "manually", not relying on the capabilities provided by Cocoa / NSAttributedString? And in that case simply append to the document as you traverse your db. I've never looked at the RTF spec., so I've no idea how feasible that would be...
