always assume DITA when people talk about this stuff .. but if
you're using a very basic XML model the stylesheet development
is much easier (of course, so is the FM app development, so it
might be a wash).<br>

<br>
If you can develop an FO stylesheet for DITA-sourced content
in only 3 times the amount of time it takes me to develop
the same DITA-FMx template, then we should talk. We may have
a lot of work for you then. ;-)<br>
