Mike-- 

I've sent you the file. 

The idea would be that we'd create an intervening script that would take your paragraph tag markup and inject the InDesign tagged text markup where appropriate. The ideal would be to leave your initial markup unchanged (or nearly unchanged). I think XSL would be an excellent way to accomplish this transformation. I'll send an example markup and XSL template later. 

re: "On a general note, Adobe still cannot rest on its laurels: there are still huge gaps in the functionality of ID that need to be filled." 

I agree! But I'd also point out that Ventura has similar holes (its typesetting features, for example, can't compare to InDesign's, it lacks transparency, its drawing tools are crude, OpenType/Unicode support lags, etc.). InDesign is going to keep getting better--I don't see a similar committment from Corel to improve Ventura. 

Thanks, 

Ole
