True enough. But do watch out. I've managed to corrupt one Frame file and make
it completely unreadable once something broke in a document that was built with
text insets that contained conditional text and xrefs. While it can be done, the
growth of considerations over xref formats, xrefs, and conditions can quickly
become unmanageable. Without mentioning the possibility of disaster.

Annoyingly, I can neither remember how I recovered the file nor duplicate what
corrupted my file (I think I just restored an older copy that I had as backup
but I can't find the corrupt file anywhere). In the heat of a deadline panic can
take over I suppose.
