Actually I am confused by the terminology. It would appear to me that some
variants (Vandyke Brown, Argyrotype) of the kallitype process are printing
out processes. If I am incorrect in this assumption, why?

Unfortunately your instructions for the kallitype seem almost guaranteed to
leave some unexposed ferrous salts in the print, thus assuring the
likelhood that it will self-destruct. However, some of these ferrous salts
would clear in the long development time you recommend, which appears to be
good procedure.
