Exactly!

And there is good reason for this:  separation of concerns.  One team
generates the RTF (code which is extensive and complex); another team
modifies the result to meet a specific need.

That's what I thought.  I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed
anything.

Regrettably, no.

Thanks much for thinking through this with me!
