On the surface this would appear to be true, however Distiller and WWP
are not authoring environments. The FM files remain unaltered in those
models. That is, the single source is used. FM+RH is still repurposing
content from FM into RH then out to whatever output you choose, and
unless I'm missing something, if you make changes in RH to your
content, you can't repurpose the content back to FM.
