Cool, useful and powerful in DITA.
Too often, when we work on a DITA implementation we spend a lot of time on the bells and whistles of our CMS or the DITA-OT publishing scripts. But, often the content is bloated, uses unsemantic markup, is riddled with duplication, and suffers from condition overload.
The benefits of DITA are powered by robust, semantically correct DITA content. With content bloat, you just won't get the promised benefits. Worse, messy content sets up your writers for failure and frustration.
