Writers should NOT be delivering camera-ready copy. They
should be delivering text with minimal formatting, which
then gets edited, copy edited, and imported into a
typesetting app at the publisher's. (Now, granted, we all do
sometimes self-publish: a handout for a course, a white
paper for a seminar, things like that. But normally what we
write undergoes further processing afterwards.)
The great thing about Xy is that it can do both: CI all type
modes (it, bo; ul is a typewriter expedient one should never
use unless the publisher requests it, which some do) and any
heading keys (H1, H2, etc, which often the author is the
only one who knows which should be what) into whatever codes
the publisher wants. Or format to a fare-thee-well and run
Xy2pdf to get a handsomely typeset piece (with share-able
files) for anything one has to self-publish.
