Niels, Rick, Hedley, thanks for your respective replies. The idea to update markers or variables is interesting indeed.

Well, Hedley, it's not so much about *writing* a plugin, but about integrating the functionality into an existing one. We already have a powerful API client for FrameMaker+SGML we've been using for a long long time now (so people are used to it), mainly to add the possibility to add structured cross-references to other files. Up to now we, as administrators, had to modify the FrameMaker file that contains the two cross-reference targets for the two footer fields (date and short publication title). Now we're looking to unify and centralize meta information for our publications in one place which can easily be manipulated by our authors. Of course, this could be a Frame document, but a text ini file feels more appropriate somehow. -- cheers, Jakob.
