Daniel,
Jean Hollis weber. Yes, in tech writer circles her has good
recognition. Her most recent book got the highest awards in the
Australia Tech Writers competition (distinction and best of show).
Bruce's email should convince you.
Thanks. I actually don't need convincing as I know that my successful
experience with MSO master documents is the exception rather than the
rule. My point is to help put some "meat" to the argument that MSO's
master documents are poorly implemented and OO's are much better (and
actually can be used by the majority of users).
I forgot to mention it in my last e-mail, but your comments about Boeing
and their need for a stable document format could be used for marketing
purposes effectively. Your expression "a lot of complex documents that
must retain full precision for a long time" is something I think the lay
reader would understand as far as the benefits of an XML based schema
for files.
