So if I get it right for FrameMaker6.0+SGML to support Chinese I need a Chinese OS?
And to support French (spelling, hyphenation) and Chinese? Can I use a French FrameMaker+SGML
on a Chinese OS?

Does someone know whether there is an upgrade path from FrameMaker+SGML to something else, let's say InDesign (through XML/RTF Documents)?
Does such a move make technical (is InDesign able to handle documents of thousand of pages, same features as FrameMaker?) or strategical sense (how is FrameMaker evolving(*))?
How is the Unicode support of InDesign?
