At the CDL we use XTF for textual and non-textual content. For instance, it was used to build the digital critical edition of the Mark Twain Papers (see http://www.marktwainproject.org/about_technicalsummary.shtml for the technical summary of the first phase) as well the Online Archive of California (http://oac.cdlib.org/).

We will shortly be doing just that, using METS, for our "Digital Scholarly Edition of the Marcel Breuer Papers." At the moment we've just taken the first baby steps in the process. I'll let you know how it goes ;)
