This use of Author as a presentation tool indicates the possibility of extending Author to be an Office suite and storing the files as EPUBs. You can approximate much of Microsoft Word and potentially Adobe Framemaker by enhancing Author to create CSS by a menu similar to the Framemaker Paragraph Designer, but with CSS nomenclature and design. Basically, a structured CSS file can replace the proprietary Framemaker format. This would provide a method to save and/or copy XHTML and XML files. Presently, I create my CytometryML (www.cytometryml.org) posters and papers from Author or the text version of my schemas. I have created styles in Framemaker to do this. I believe that EPUB would make an excellent open format replacement for both Adobe PDF and Microsoft Office files. EPUB can also act as a binary file transporter. Thank you.

Hello, Markus Wiedenmaier shows a new way of using the oXygen XML Author - as a presentation tool: http://youtu.be/EwpRYbDVGQw I really like the idea of presenting the XML directly from the oXygen XML Author and it will be great to have an alternate CSS for DocBook, DITA, XHTML, etc. that will switch the oXygen XML Author in a presentation mode so you can navigate though different sections of the document. Thanks Markus!
