FWIW, I've used linking between RH & FM with little issue. The only
issue I found was with regard to conditional text, which I documented
on my blog.

That said, I still feel that Mif2Go and ePublisher outshine other
offerings with regard to single-sourcing from FrameMaker. Though,
it'll be interesting to see what's truly under the hood of TCS3.
