Re: DocBook and DITA

/ "Rajal Shah" <rajal@meshsoftware.com> was heard to say:
| I was amazed and frustrated to hear people downplaying Docbook over
| DITA at a conference I attended this week on XML documentation and
| CMS.

I wrote up a few notes about DITA in
http://norman.walsh.name/2005/05/27/xtech#p10

I'm not sure I have my head around DITA yet, but writing a customization
of DocBook that allows users to assemble documents from their own ToC
seems like a useful idea.
