Re: How to convince a coworker to NOT use Structured FrameMaker?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

It sounds to me as if David and his coworkers are in an environment where the 
writers can do what they want as far as which flavor of FM to use.  From a 
management point of view, this sounds really scary to me, because if there's no 
SOP for something this basic, it's probably just the tip of an iceberg of chaos.
