Lynne Price, Kay Whatley and others: The DITA DTDs are modularised to allow ready re-use, specialisation and maintenance.
Is there any way to create a modularised EDD, with a skeleton host file and modules imported as text insets? I have been studying the Adobe documentation for developing structured applications but cannot find any reference to using text insets in this way. I read somewhere a couple of years ago that EDD fragments always require a root element that matches an element in the main host EDD skeleton, which would rather undermine this idea. But perhaps there is a special root element that can map onto ANY element in the host EDD -- a new feature in FM8? It seems to me that both the Adobe and Leximation EDDs could benefit from modularisation that exactly maps onto the *.dtd and *.mod files of the DITA schemas/DTDs.
