But my boss is under a lot of pressure from his boss to "go xml." I keep asking why? In what way could this possibly make our lives easier? 

If nobody knows why, it won't. But, take the opportunity to learn something new and cool on the company's dime. 

Page breaks in FrameMaker. ACK! Don't do that. Converts to text. ACK! Fix formatting? ACK! Don't do that. Use tags, no overrides, and use a vendor that can work with your FrameMaker files. 

Sounds like you have more basic needs than single sourcing. 

Cheers, 

Sean
