Yes, there is a historical reason. The RTTY modes were instigated by different
people. Also, in those days RTTY was not perceived as a sibling to CW and SSB,
but rather a different species. Now, though, if the other modes choose to
comply with the RTTY rules I'm happy to adopt them into our family. Seriously,
apart from a few rules differences, we really do work closely together today.
