============================================================
There is a 9-page white paper (PDF) on the Adobe Web site entitled 
FrameMaker 6.0 and XML that I found under the FM+SGML product information. 
On page 6, is the following statement:

"For projects that use XML primarily to display text and data, two emerging 
standards have sought to facilitate the expression and application of 
formatting specifications. The first is cascading style sheets (CSS), which 
allow users to create a consistent look and feel for the documents they 
genrate. These style sheets are similar in function to FrameMaker 
templates. The second standard is extensible style sheets (XSS). 
FrameMaker+SGML supports both standards , so that the XML it generates can 
be used widely and consistently with great ease."

A month or so ago, I posted a message to the list asking if the XMLcss.dll 
plug-in that was donwloadable from the Adobe website for V5.5.6 was also 
available for 6.0, and got a response back from someone at Adobe stating 
that it was available for V6.0.
