Good point. I think I'll leave them separate for now, barring any further
debate on the topic. I was weighing a case like dos2unix/unix2dos vs. for
example... well, those are the only translators I know of that go both
ways. There's catdoc and word2x, etc. for example, but they don't go the
other way.
But the latex<->rtf packages translate more complex formats than just
stripping or adding ^M.
So the verdict is: Look for a new latex2rtf and the addition of rtf2latex
