Re: Single-sourcing, who's doing it?

My guess is that Word's approach to XML is similar to
the approach already used by Rascal's Veredus
software: the XML is not really useful outside the
product. So, Word's strenght will continue to be it's
proprietary advantages, not its XML ones.

But, that's just a WAG.

Cheers,

Sean
