Hi Tim,
I agree with you that the quality of a page typesetted with LateX is
_very_ high, but I think it would be _very_ difficult to introduce a
LateX typesetting phase in a production worflow of a traditional
publishing house. In other environment this could definitely be a good
solution.

regards,

PS: I don't want to start a flame on typesetting engines!!!
