'Old fashion' Publishing, which is nothing but a snapshot in time of the dynamic information, will probably disappear within a reasonable timeframe.

Instead CMS vendors will focus on presenting the XML data on the fly, based on which log-in credentials the user has. If the End User is an engineer, he will see ‘expert information’. If the End User is a casual user, he will see almost the same, but this time ‘casual information’. Instead of publishing a PDF document for each of the audiences, modern CMS will ‘filter’ the information and present the right information to the right person at the right moment in time.

DITA Exchange Online Library is such an application. It will display the approved information (what is approved this second) to the user, without any interim actions such as rendering processes etc.
