That's - uhm - interesting, but why don't you consider sharing the  
news or info with the list verbatim? DITA is an important topic in  
the techwriting community ATM, so maybe there's other people here  
interested as well.

One interesting way of thinking would be to be able to export DITA  
documents using Daisy Books.
