Frame vs Arbortext

If the [fairly imminent?] upcoming version of FrameMaker actually turns out to be FrameMaker 8 and not FrameMaker 7.2-and-a-bit, it seems likely that the developments will lean heavily in the direction of XML support, and this will further erode what differen[ce] currently exists.

About a month and a half ago at the WritersUA conference during my template session one of the Adobe staff mentioned the next release is a full release, not a dot release. Not sure if that was a slip or totally intentional, but it was nice to hear it. A lot of places are beginning to mention Frame 8 as something that Adobe is working on. It's been mentioned on numerous sites including Scott's Content Wrangler and others.

Looks like there will still be real options for users in the future when it comes to tool selection :)
