Re DITA, you may find the latest IT author podcast (<a href="http://www.itauthor.eu/2008/09/27/itauthor-podcast-17-mike-hamilton-talks-about-flare-4/" rel="nofollow">"Mike Hamilton Talks About Flare"</a>) interesting. Hamilton explains that they plan to incorporate DITA support into the next major release of Flare, but they plan to incorporate DITA in a way that users can leverage it, rather than just providing the XML file output that you described. Details were still fuzzy, but they're aware of the problems you described and are trying to offer a solution that wouldn't require a tech writer to be a programmer.
