I asked this question on the DSSSList, and Daniel Speck
<> suggested that it may be as simple as setting
(declare-initial-value input-whitespace-treatment
'collapse)
While at this point in my education, this is a pure magic
incantation, it appears to work. I also note that this is probably
what is doing the magic in DocBook; at least I notice that that same
command is in dbparam.dsl, and that various other rules explicitly reset
input-whitespace-treatment to either 'collapse or
'preserve.
So I think the mystery is solved, although it will require some
study before I understand the solution.
My thanks to all who spent time and thought to assist me in
this.

Oops. If I use the print stylesheet, the spaces do go away. This
must
be a feature of the RTF backend.
Be seeing you,
