It's all wishful thinking though, because no known author has yet finalized the text before wanting to fuss over format :-)
Yes, I do think you were seeing stardust, for a moment there. On average--average, mind you--our clients copyedit not less than 3 times post-ePUB production. We have many that go to 7-8 rounds. We have very few that only do 1-2, although we try to induce them, both carrot and stick, to either present a final manuscript (ho! ho ho ho!) or at least keep edits to a single round. But I'm never-ceasingly surprised at the sheer revision rounds we go through, so...no, I think you'd be crazy to try to do that in INDD, myself. I mean, it's easier in many ways to edit in ePUB than INDD, really, so...how do you workflow what you're doing, with IND?
