FrameMaker 11 in XML

Hi Robert...

1) You can specify a Schema (XSD) or a DTD file in the structure 
application definition. This has been available since FM8 (possibly 
FM7.2). I've not done this in Frame, but in theory the answer to your 
question is yes. Perhaps someone with more experience with this feature 
can comment.

2) No. Formatting in FM is done through an EDD .. which maps elements 
and element contexts to named styles defined in the associated template 
or by applying properties and formatting directly to the element structures.

Neither of these  features has changed with FM11.

Cheers,

...scott
