All my proposal was meant as an example of short description for somebody 
knowing nothing about LuTeX/TeX - who just entered the website. I am not 
experienced user hence many inaccuracies.

In my current project I've chosen ConTeXt as I can typeset the complete book 
from my source XML data. There is no easy way to do it in InDesign. And forget 
about automating it. Inspite of this many InDesign users do it - somehow, 
inefficiently - as they believe it is the ONLY solution to produce excellent 
typography from structured data.

Nicely written. I agree. Thanks for clarification.
