I'm not sure how nostalgia figures into that. What most programs call
paragraph styles and character styles, unstructured FrameMaker calls
paragraph tags and character tags.

But I believe he saw that use of the terminology as a slip in my understanding of the two faces of FrameMaker, unstructured and structured, both of which had importance for this particular job.
