Absolutedly. My main point is that this stuff is evolving just now. In a few
years, crossed fingers, we might find this as an excellent cross-platform
intermediate documentation swap file format. Right now the emphasis is more
on photo qualities than text / styling qualities aka Photoshop etc.

Interesting, but I have to wonder why FrameMaker is missing from their
little mind-map figure (Figure 5, Author-centric production) in their white
paper. Most other Adobe products are listed, such as Photoshop, Illustrator,
GoLive.

Their main page (http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/main.html) says "other
Adobe products will follow." But I don't see the use of this right now if a
document authoring tool does not use the framework.
