Yes, Its also worth noting some tools that can be used to produce /only/
strucutured doc. Charlie Pike from TPG gave an example of one at the
last IIA gig that was really interesting - can't remember what it was
called. It was an enterprise level tool that only allowed you to create
the semantic content - no presentation stuff IIRC.
