On the train to a meeting with RNIB in Birmingham, and just catching up
on this week's email!  Thanks for the folks who chimed in to (completely
correctly) clarify my position while I was missing in travel action.  To
expand:

Our process is to convert most books into an internal intermediate file
we call BBX.  It's a single file version of a DAISY book (real DAISY
books come with several surrounding files: NCX, SMIL and OPF in addition
to the XML file).  From that single file, we can create either a DAISY
book by generating the extra files or a BRF file by running Duxbury.  

Better formatting in the XML leads to better navigation in the DAISY
book and better formatting in the electronic Braille file.
