For internal storage I recommend RVF.

Future versions will always read RVF created with older versions.

Some contents cannot be saved in RTF, some is converted to the closest RTF

analog.

But TStringStream requires text format. RTF is a text format (moreover, it

uses only characters with codes < 128). RVF can be a text format if you

exclude rvfoSaveBinary from RVFOptions.

But it's better to use TMemoryStream instead of TStringStream, if possible.
