XML in the Wild

For kicks and giggles, I figured I'd try out the blogging capability in Word 2007 for today's post.

What do y'all think?

Probably can't tell the difference, can you. If so, that's good.

Today's activities include the following sessions:

• A Study in the Adoption and Usage of XML Schema - its Design and Results
  
• Daddy? Where do Schemas Come From? Some Facts of Life for Schema Users
  
• The ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office
  
• Panel: Word and Open Office for XML Authoring
  
• Creating Intelligent Workflows with PRISM Metadata
  
• Making the Most of XML with Adobe InCopy and InDesign
  

That's gotta be enough to make my head spin for one day...

Oh! And I found that there's a vendor here who actually says they can transform MS Word or XML into richly formatted, brand consistent InDesign and PDF documents. The company is http://www.typefi.com, and I'm really surprised that I haven't heard of them before now, what with all of the InDesign research I've been doing lately. I'll get back to y'all on this one as soon as I get the scoop on what it Is they actually do...

At any rate, I have just enough time to get another Mocha before this thing starts, so I'm outta here.
