[Athen] accessibility of InDesign for creating an ebook

I do not believe that Adobe (and InDesign specifically) will be 
supporting the DAISY format.  From conference presentations and blog 
posts (and individual conversations), support was focused on the ePub 
format.  Additionally, with the convergence of ePub and DAISY, I see 
Adobe focusing on ePub and Mobipocket as the primary e-book export options.

I have not had the chance to play with InDesign 6 yet.  The 5.5 upgrade 
did introduce some nice functionality (when it worked), so I am hoping 
version 6 brings additional functionality.

Take care,
Sean
