Glenn -
In all likelihood your client will die slowly and painfully by trying to do
Minivend exclusively with GoLive or any other highly structured authoring
system, since use of minivend requires slicing and dicing HTML and minivend
tags in a way that many of these systems cannot handle. For example, some
of the simple demo pages contain content outside of the <body> and <html>
tags, which causes virtually every WYSIWYG editor out there to gag.
If your client wants minivend, they should expect that their HTML
development efforts will require and cross-section of tools, ranging from
GoLive, down to basic text editors.
