Now OT, I suppose. RE: Adobe pricing policies (was: FrameMaker 12 released)

[Bernard Gagne]

That's great as long as you use DITA. We use DocBook so FrameMaker XML Author (which should more appropriately be called FrameMaker DITA Author) is useless. Oxygen and XMetal have nothing to fear.

My guess is Adobe's goal in creating FrameMaker XML Author and pricing
