Using DITA For Narrative Documents
I have posted some thoughts on using DITA for narrative documents on the Really Strategies blog: http://blog.reallysi.com/2008/01/dita-applicatio.html
The executive summary is:

This potentially opens up a whole class of documents of particular interest to Publishers that might otherwise not seem to be good candidates for ditification.
