[oXygen-user] Direct XML presentation?

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Bob,

Yes, I think that not many people realize but XML tools become better 
and better and there will not be too long until they will be usable by 
anyone...

I was also thinking and even discussing the idea of an XML-based office 
set of tools, when the XML language contains more semantic elements, not 
only a serialization format, for example a DITA office or a DocBook 
office. Markus example gets us one step closer.

Best Regards,
George
