One should not forget in this discussion that Framemaker should never be
called an XML tool, because it does not support Unicode. Word does that
since a long time, as does Excel andAccess. If you work in a multilingual
organization, you appreciate what that means. And working with Frame or
Quark cost huge amounts of time because the do not support Unicode. A lovely
thing is o me: Altova's free Authentic (for Windows NT and ?; on ME it does
not support Unicode). But that, with a Unicode?XML publishing system
(InDesign?, but something like Frame or the next Frame for technical
documents at a good price), maybe Word + XML (docbook?, TEI? or no DTD's at
all?, that seems to me like great stuff.

Has anybody tried this: copy Greek text (!) from Altova to Frame: Frame can
do nothing with it; copy it via Word (97) to Frame: the text stays (like the
Quark Word import feature via RTF or Word6, that's why I tried it).
