Actually, I wouldn't agree.
The point is, I don't think it is a good idea, if the issues with rtf-Output are fixed by simply changing the output to a different format. Even if such a format as DITA would be used.
Why?
Actually I think there are lots of users, which try currently or even already succeeded in generating documents with EA.
Many of them would be happy, if EA generates well-formed rtfs. Where the output is controlled by a simple template mechanism and where you can use rtf-features which are known in OpenOffice or even Word.
Most of them would get very frustrated, if the output changes from rtf to something different, like DITA. Suddenly you would need expertise in a completely different document format, macbe just to make it generate rtf once again.
When switching to DITA, who knows what ptifalls and issues will arise?
The template approach of the rtf-Generator has become very complicated.
Instead of fixing issues first and adding new features second, new features came in first, creating new issues.
Just a question, when EA is used by a company, aren't there at least MS Word or OpenOffice available and/or mandatory?
Even Sparx recommends within in the help that once the rtf generators functionality isn't sufficient, one should open the generated document with MS Word!!!
Finally having a generator which creates valid documents (Word or OpenOffice) and is easy to handle would be my choice.
