Has anyone looked into the new cross media plugin for Adobe InDesign (free
from Adobe)? I've spend an hour with it tonight. It looks like you can
define your XML structure within a tool palette while designing your
document. Looks quite powerful, although I think I need to RTFM because some
things are confusing about it.

Could be a wonderful way of authoring content, especially for Frontier/Radio
where you can read and transform the XML. (or Perl, PHP, XSLT... )

If anyone has used it, does the XML it generates stay nice and clean when
things get complicated? How does this compare to Framemaker's abilities?

Right now it looks very cool.


James.
