Re: structured content reuse

Speaking of Atex-like systems Adam,

A few newspapers I recall were so fond of their Atex and CText systems,
their RFPs specifically required that certain key-combinations be replicated
in MS Word.  Oh the hoops we had to jump through to satisfy those
requirements.

After spending a week in their shoes, I understood why they liked the
existing front-end so much.  Mouseless baby.
