Rice paper and wafer paper are pretty much the same. They both can be used to draw on and are edible. One site off hand you can get them at, is Sugarcraft.com.
I've noticed taht at the cakre decorating store the rice paper just sits in a rack... it's not wraped in anything. is that common? is it really something you want to be eating?
I've heard of a person using it for a finger dessert...something like a rolled cake with bavarian creme in the middle and the paper wrapped around that....I dont know if I could do that but hey its been done....but I'm with you the idea of eating "paper" is a bit out of the norm.
I wouldn't worry about rice paper just sitting on a shelf. I buy my wafer paper from kopykake.com. It comes wrapped but I'm sure it sat on some shelf somewhere before it ever made it to my front door. It's better than mushrooms--can't wash the dirty little buggers just wipe'em and eat. Wafer paper is not good eats though. Tastes like paper...I've coated mine with piping gel before and that made it taste like sweet paper which was better but still not good. I used it to make sheet music for a piano cake.

I used wafer/rice paper to make an edible butterfly.
It's on the site under theme/3D cakes under the butterfly category. We'll see if this link works:
