Why should a conference that's trying to present information relevant to the
largest number of technical writers possible spend a lot of time individual,
specialized interests? If all of the topics you mentioned were important (or
even just interesting) to ALL technical writers, wouldn't they be frequent
topics here on techwr-l? When you have a large, diverse group, you have to
find something they all have in common. And what we have in common tends to
be in the writing area, NOT in the content area.
