Based on a recent evaluation of TCS, my understanding is that the HTML cannot be round-tripped. What's more, certain things you might want in your HTML cannot be marked up in Frame. For example, if you want to use drop-down hotspots, there's no way to mark them up in FrameMaker; you have to modify the HTML topics that were generated from the Frame source. These modifications cannot be brought back to Frame. If you update your Frame source and regenerate the topics, you have to add the drop-down hotspots to the topics all over again.
In fact, as far as I know, any modifications you make to the HTML topics are not round-tripped back to your FM files. Basically what you are getting in the TCS is a good HTML Help editor that can import FrameMaker documents with support for cross-reference, index, and context sensitivity markers. Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
