Good question (and good thoughts on the question), but
that's a different topic. For the purposes of this
topic, let's imagine that the reasons are sound.
And in case I forget to mention it later, thanks for
all

Would it be possible to discuss good ways rather

One reason many of us are strong supporters of best

Let's imagine you're working in unstructured Frame,
and that present circumstances prevent you from making
the switch to Structured Frame. However, those
circumstances
This is how I've done it:
1. Learn topic-based authoring, for example by taking some classes in
structured writing or Information Mapping (IMAP).
2. Design Frame templates that support topic-based authoring.
3. Learn XML, at least XML for authors (not XML for developers).
4. Learn DITA
