That is correct, with the caveat that "a tile w/o foreground" is a tile with 
coloured sub-rects, i.e. a non-monochrome tile.  It's perfectly reasonable to 
have a series of monochrome tiles of which only the first specifies a 
foreground colour.

One might also consider a lack of motive born of lack of personal involvement 
in the RFC process as a less sinister explanation.  Or does that sound too 
absurd? ;)
