Raw content, mostly, sometimes. But the draw commands are what put it all
together.

For instance, you might have a paragraph of text where there is one draw
command per line, or you might have a paragraph of text where is one draw
command per character. For an image that fills the page, you might have one
content stream and one draw command, or you might have multiple image slices
with one content stream and one draw command for each slice.

IOW, what you want is not so simple.
