Again, that does nothing for applications that don't work in XML. Suppose I
have an app like BTVPro, a highly scriptable video application, and I want
to insert a clip into a pages document?
I do it manually, or I twaddle the XML directly, figuring out all the XML
for embedding movies where I want them to be, moving the movie into the
pages bundle.
bah
I can script this in almost every other WP/DTP application out there. Pages
is only useful if your entire integration needs are defined by Keynote.
