Hi! I have used FrameMaker and ClearCase before. I don't particularly see a need to link together all the files in a book within ClearCase, unless you're going directly from ClearCase to FM or invoking ClearCase from FM itself. Of course, you have to treat FM files as binary; you can't compare unstructured files and comparing MIF or SGML/XML files makes little sense.
PDFs also have to be treated as binary. Also be sure to test your files between platforms if you are working in a mixed Windows/UN*X environment.
