Why is so difficult to drop the bad comparison? FrameMaker7.2 plus the
DocBook StructApp, or the DITA plug-in can be compared to editing and

XML CAN NOT!

Why is it so difficult for professionals in a domain that seems to
understand the relationship of HTML (simply a from of markup where XML is
a metalanguage to markup) to HTML tools?
