(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,
