RUPS 7.2.5 shows a RoleMap entry when none is present in the PDF

In a Tagged PDF file, RUPS 7.2.5 shows a RoleMap entry in the StructTreeRoot that is not physically present in the PDF. This is extremely confusing!

e.g.:

whereas this is the reality (3 different tools):

Looks to be still relevant in 25.03 and it is coming from the core library.

Though, in theory, I could work around this in RUPS in read-only mode... If it is in read-only, but somehow tree root is "modified" and /RoleMap is a direct empty dict, then it is, most likely, the one created by iText and we could hide it... Might take a closer look at this one.

Could you also use the Size value to know if something is "real" or not?

Not in this case, as the created dictionary is direct. Unless you mean something else.
