Yes, I understand the explanation.  But your example clearly shows
that a pamphlet file is not a LaTeX file.  The LaTex is but a facet,
to borrow from the Crystal terminology.

If you choose to associate meta-level operations with LaTeX commands,
then you loose flexibility. 

Can you say with certainty that every meta-level (or, more properly,
pamphlet-level) operation has a sensible, corresponding latex command?

Or do you just make those special cases and effectively define the
command in the .sty file as a no-op?

I agree with everything your trying to accomplish.  I just want the
concepts to be clear.  We latex .tex files.  We tangle, weave, and
transform .pamphlets.


your leaving for a trip, so we can pick back up on this latter in the
week.

Thanks for taking the time to engage in this discussion.
