New versions of FrameMaker always seem to concentrate on adding features
for the structured community. I get it. That's the strenght of the
program. But the new features I'd like to see involve handling of
graphics and type. For example, it would be nice to be able to make a
graphic float in the middle of a two-column page, and have both columns
wrap around it. Or how about taking advantage of the various OpenType
features that InDesign can handle with ease, but Frame is clueless
about-- like easy, true small caps, or oldstyle numerals? Or optical
margins and hanging indents, for a more modern, refined look in printed
docs? Or a separate offset setting for numerators and denominators?
Right now, you can set superscript and subscript offsets to work for
either super/subscripts or numerators/denominators, but not both.

Over the years, I've beta tested a few FrameMaker versions. I always test
on live projects, which I know isn't the best idea, but it gives me
information about how the beta works in the real world. Before the beta
concludes, I save my project files as MIF, so I can continue documenting in
the non-beta, current FM version. Not sure what I need in a new version of
FM. Probably stronger Word filters, a better way to round-trip MIF, and a
more robust and straightforward way of finding missing fonts in the actual
files. Cheers.
