Flare vs DITA

[Art Campbell]

DITA is a standard for producing documentation.

Frame, Flare, and a small herd of other editors can create documents that
support the DITA standards.

So you're kind of asking an apples and oranges question -- one doesn't
equal the other; the editors all have different ways of producing content
that adheres to one or move of the DITA versions.

And when you're talking about modifying "their" templates, are you talking
about DITA templates or Flare?

Flare's, generally, are based on cascading style sheets with some weird
twists; they are customized for the particular output "target" -- online
help, PDF, what have you, so an H1 will likely be different sizes, fonts,
and so on depending on what output format you're creating
