We (Sun docs team) are using OOo for writing the application help

are stuck with version 1.x because we didn't have time to port
the filters and macros to ODF yet.
I wanted to write an article about using OOo for XML editing
and describe the experience I made when setting this up for
application help authoring for a long time, I never got to it.
What might an outline of that article have been?
Of the various uses for XML, what would be the best (or easiest) route
using Writer with importing XML content along with a prepared template
(for a chapter, for example) using DocBook's DTDs and any necessary R/W
rules file? IOW, using OOo for structured authoring of XML content
similar to the manner that FrameMaker uses its structured XML
application approach to structured authoring.
