The XML outputs should be in the form of XHTML5 and CSS. EPUB is an
extension of this. It should be possible with XSD1.1 schema to interleave
XML elements and XHTML elements. This would permit creation of structured
documents. 

The use of XHTML5 effectively as the operating system's GUI would shift the
cost of creation and support of output to the browser vendor.

In any case, the FrameMaker front end would produce files in one of two
open, well supported extensible public formats, XHTML5 or EPUB. FrameMaker
paragraphs would include an element name and, if necessary, a style class,
which is the way XHTML presently works with CSS. <p class="centered">This is
a test paragraph</p>.

A further advantage of the use of CSS is that if FrameMaker 11 functioned
incorrectly, the user could fix the problem by correcting the CSS and/or
possibly the XHTML.
