To all of you reading this newsgroup! 

We have talked about bibliography and this is one fine detail that should be included as default in Framemaker !!! How come ? that Framemaker which was designed to build up books and large document cannot handle properly bibliography.  
The other annoyance that I have.  
Being a scientist, creating a bibliography with Xref is a must but creating a list of maths symbols automatically is must too, but cannot be done in FM. I have involved several people from various newsgroup and it seems that no one seems to find answers. 

The target: 
Any scientific paper uses equations and symbols that with framemaker you would write with the equation palette. It is a requirement for scientific paper/engineering book, maths reference book, to print a list of symbols after the TOC. I have tried many things, but nothing works. 
IF only markers could be introduced into equations (using the equation palette) the answer would be simple but it is not. 

What are your thoughts about this ? and why does framemaker cannot deal with bibliography and list of symbols as default ? There are so many people using FM in the engineering and science buisness, can anybody tell me if he/her manage to perform such a task automatically ? So why is framemaker so good ? Could this be suggested to the Adobe team, I have tried with no success ?
