Dov,
of course, you're right. But although Adobe markets FrameMaker as an XML
tool ("Experience powerful XML capabilities", "Create and edit valid XML
in a structured authoring environment"), the W3C specifications for XML
clearly state that it is associated with Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 for
characters, and that its character encoding should be one of the various
encodings and transformations of Unicode / ISO/IEC 10646.
Which FrameMaker does NOT do internally. And in this Adobe's marketing
speech is misleading.
Of course, if one never uses anything else than ascii - that is the
english language, one will never notice the problem. Until (like with
Heidi) the arrival of a file with anything else than the standard ascii
characters.
In Design and other Adobe apps got it right, not FrameMaker, the only
program presented as a sophisticated XML tool.
