I'm not quite sure whether the situation has changed so much since Frame 7.0. The old EDD concept is still in place, and everyone who has ever attempted to map an XML structure to a FrameMaker template knows how tedious a job this is. Even if you want to customise the default DocBook application to meet your own demands you'll get not that far within a reasonable amount of time!
Thus, MIF output would be a nice thing to have, but I'm afraid I'm not the one to do that, at least not now (I agree with you, there are more urgent issues).

It creates the master pages and can put fo:block elements into paragraphs, but that is about it. The infrastructure is in place to do a lot more. However, since Frame 7.0, all Frame users have the ability to directly manage the semantic XML document, so there is not much interest. Unless funding is provided along the way, I think it will be one of the last things to be addressed. Also, if a developer came along who wanted to work on it, we could provide some assistance.
