Re: xmetal and dita training classes: necessary?

Yves,

What was the skill level of the students in regard to XML and structured 
language in general? Did that have an impact?

Since I have a background in XML, DITA seems to be just another schema 
when I examine it and the features you mention dovetail nicely into 
general structured language.
