Considering DITA - need more info

Hi everyone,

We have developed our own topic-based DTDs and are now considering
converting to DITA. I am researching the pros/cons and have a few
questions for those of you who are currently using DITA. I really
appreciate your thoughtful consideration of these questions and look
forward to your responses.

* What caused you to switch from your custom DTDs to DITA?
* What benefits were there to switching from your custom DTDs to DITA?
* From a DTD developer`s standpoint, how does maintaining DITA DTDs
compare to maintaining custom DTDs?
* From a stylesheet developer`s standpoint, how does maintaining DITA
XSL compare to maintaining custom XSL?
* From a writer`s standpoint, how does using DITA compare to using
custom DTDs?
* From a translator`s standpoint, how does translating DITA XML
compare to translate from custom DTDs?
* What is the best thing about using DITA?
* What is the worst thing about using DITA?
* What is your role (DTD developer, stylesheet developer, information
architect, author, translator, etc.)?
* What has your experience been working with translations vendors
with DITA-based XML?
* Do you translate DITA maps? or just the topics?
* How many specialized topic types did you create? What were they?
* How many domains did you create? What were they?

Thanks,
Susan
