Epic x FrameMaker x Epic XML glitches?

[Paul Nagai]

Hi Art,
I am not aware of anyone doing this as part of their workflow. I do
subscribe to the theory, however, that the active word in "round tripping
XML" is "trip." Preserving, adding, removing, re-adding, ignoring "special"
stuff each application might require (think processing instructions) can be
challenging. Forget about the complexity of the ... forgive me, I forget the
exact Frame term ... "edit rules" (the structure map used during
import/export or open/close or something along those lines).

Maybe if your customer is using extremely small, simple chunks the effort
could be worth it. But if that were so, you probably wouldn't prefer to use
Frame if possible (making all sorts of wild assumptions about what you're
trying to do).
