As noted in the comments for the Book Editor above, most of the schema work has already been done. Originally it was planned to have the ADM changes in the NDM/XML V.3 along with the ODM changes, but the ODM developed faster than the ADM. So it was necessary to split the removal of XML formatting for ODM and ADM into 2 separate versions of the NDM/XML Specification.
