XML 2006: Scribus non grata
When presenters at this conference mentioned content creators, their attitudes ranged from dismissive to contemptuous. “Stupid authors” seems to be the universal undercurrent. Authors complain about XML-based publishing systems, authors whine whenever something minor changes, authors don’t understand the glories of XML, and so on.
Perhaps the presenters have forgotten that without authors, there are no documents?

You are absolutely right. I think you may want to look at xopus.com. Some of the companies present at XML 2006 already use it. Sadly the proposed presentation about Xopus was rejected for the conference.
