Hi Scott, Thanks for the info, but DocBook is not the problem here. I have some good command of the XML DocBook DTD (from version 3). I have also developed simplified version for DocBook for organization specific needs (just to realize myself that there is nothing better than using the original).
To my understanding, the key point in this discussion is that FrameMaker is not a "native" SGML/XML tool. It has its own way of dealing with structured documents. In some way, it has reinvented the wheel (being SGML much older than FM, and with many SGML processing tools available out there). I could be wrong, but I could find at least some other people that are thinking (more o less) the same way: http://www.getnet.net/~swhitlat/DocBook/Frame_Project_Readme.php >From /SGML users point of view, it would've been easier to have FM work internally with DTD's. The second part of the round trip, presentations design and structure mapping, seems very powerful in FM. Finally, as very simple example of what I'm saying: Could I just specify a DTD to FM without any Template, EDD, MML or other associate file and just begin typing a new valid and "plain" structured text, even if the "look&feel" is very basic (even if it is tag based)?

There are at least two books that I'm aware of that give an explanation of the Docbook DTD. Go to the above site and check them out.
