Just for my personal curiosity, exactly what are the Information Mapping
folks advocating with XML these days? From their web site, it seems
that they are closer to Mark's approach, although perhaps unable to
deliver a carefully tailored forms-based authoring environment.

Also, am I correct in assuming that (putting this in a very simplified
way) Information mapping is the following:

Doing an audience analysis.

Doing a document analysis (based on what information must be delivered
to that audience).

Creating "design patterns" for creating those documents, and using these
wherever possible.

Thanks,
