I know I can save Frame files as html, xml, text, or rtf and edit them. But

Greg,
The primary goals of XML include software-independence and the type of
interchange you describe. Setting up a structured FrameMaker environment
and corresponding XML application is rarely a trivial process, but it will
allow your client to edit the document in another XML editor (or with a
text editor). You'll then be able to open the edited XML version in
FrameMaker and it will be automatically formatted.
While you can save unstructured documents to XML, it is unlikely that
you will have the same success getting the results back into FM.
