Actually, it's quite easy to parse and to write out. It's when you get to the extensions and extras added in recent years (like images) that it becomes unwieldy and difficult to work with.
I wrote a RTF parser in an afternoon, which I used for adding header information to my RTF books, but the lack of image processing in the Sony Reader caused me to abandon my app in favor of doing full conversions in BD.
