Nice blog post today about the rise of the "technical suites."
Especially the line about "the current trend is to take away publishing responsibilities from content creators. Instead of authoring books, authors are creating bits of content, which are then assembled into the final deliverables. And the use of a suite seems to go against that trend because authors are once again placed at the center of the publishing effort."
Don't worry you aren't alone in thinking this way - the ePublisher Platform is architected with that exact workflow in mind.
Our aim is to automate the publishing process and leave the tech writer free to do what he is hired to do - create content.
And as for
"Publishes XML content through XSL and XSL-FO to create HTML, PDF, and other deliverable formats" we do this bit too (well for DITA anyway) -
