fwiw, I did the IBPhoenix docs using Framemaker.  Doing the crosslinks in 
the two books was a *fun* exercise but the "stuff" behind it is huge.

I don't have the XML version of Frame (toooo many $$$$$) but it might be 
worthwhile ploughing some of the PDF forums, e.g. 
http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/ to see whether there is an open source 
linking tool you can use (PDFZone lists quite a lot of commercial ones).

So far, so good with the doc utility!  One tiny little point of 
English:  "maturity" (not "matureness").  But I knew what you meant.  :-)
