Good point. I always assume DITA when people talk about this stuff ..
but if you're using a very basic XML model the stylesheet development is
much easier (of course, so is the FM app development, so it might be a
wash).

You had to mention DITA, didn't you? ;-)
We've made FO stylesheets for PDF output from Author-IT, those
typically take a couple of days. The DITA Open Toolkit looks
positively byzantine by comparison.

Hi Harro
If you can develop an FO stylesheet for DITA-sourced content in only 3
times the amount of time it takes me to develop the same DITA-FMx
template, then we should talk. We may have a lot of work for you then. ;-)

That's not been my experience with FO templating. I've seen FO
templating take maybe 1.5-3x as long as in FrameMaker. $200k sounds
more like they developed an entire formatting engine.
