The project/product/component mechanism can help somewhat. I also know that Thomas had written a streams module to handle the synchronization of texts. However, I am not so sure how to go about this in a real, full-fledged case with a complicated text.
Correction: "Thomas had a streams module written (by Hans)." I used it for a bilingual document for my course material, but in the end, it turned out that using it for a "real" book would have been extremely complex. In my field, there are numerous books with a bilingual layout, but I guess they are all still handcrafted, i.e. manual page breaks etc. I just shudder to think what would happen if someone has to add three words on page 3 of such a book - they would have to redo every single darn pagebreak?
