You've got a lot of detail there. One question I have is where Blaze fits in. If Flare is a single sourcing tool with PDF output, why do we need a Frame-like tool? Couldn't we just write it in Flare and output to the same output Blaze provides?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('48911','Tom Johnson'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('48911','Tom Johnson','Nice write-up, Paul.

I might add another facet to content re-use: If you have 2 Flare projects open you can drag and drop content from one project to the other. Normally Flare uses the Windows "rules" when working with files, but in this case it will change the drag and drop to be a copy (rather than move), even if the project is on the same drive. If you maintain the topics you share in one folder, and the images in another (and only have the shared content in these folders) you can easily reuse content.
