FrameMaker 7.2

Now that Adobe has messed up, I think we could safely say that
the next version of FM is to be called 7.2, and it's currently
in Beta. My educated guess is that the new version will be
announced very close to November 1, 2005.

If you Google search for "FrameMaker 7.2" (including the quotes),
you'll receive a number of hit summaries that includes the text
"FrameMaker 7.2", but the pages themselves now refer to 7.0/7.1.
My guess is that someone at Adobe published the wrong web page
or document, which was picked up by the search robots.

You can still check the following document:
http://www.adobe.de/products/framemaker/pdfs/migrationguide.pdf
in which FM 7.2 is mentioned a number of times, e.g.

"XSL pre- and post-processing (new in version 7.2). In addition to
 processing content with read/write rules, you can supply XSL
 transformations that process your XML files during import or export." 

"(version 7.2) Use a conversion rules table to structure an existing
 sample document and create a first draft of the EDD that contains
 basic element definitions and formatting that matches your
 unstructured template."

There are people currently Beta-testing FM 7.2. I'm not one of them.
