I think what you're after is called "round-trip" -- it's possible
with SGML but I've heard that there are a few issues trying that
with XML. Using Unicode is one of the biggest, since FrameMaker can't
deal with Unicode. Another is that FrameMaker+SGML will insist on
valid, rather than simply well-formed, documents. But the biggest
problem of all is that FrameMaker does not *import* XML unless you
can disguise it as a valid SGML document.

You could use FrameMaker to create and maintain your documents, then
export to XML as necessary. That's probably the easiest way.
