Connie Weaver is right about mainstream publishers' reluctance to handle
anything but traditional grammar.
If you want documentation regarding weaknesses of college composition
handbooks, I could offer you the text of a presentation I made at the CCCC
meeting in Minneapolis in April, titled New Paradigms for Our Composition
Handbooks.
The handbooks are up to date on how to cite Internet sources, but the
student pages ignore even ideas on grammar suggested in the Instructor's
Annotated Edition.  They seldom cite linguists, and I could not find Brock
Haussamen's name anywhere.

I did this research because I had prepared a brief alternative handbook on
editing based on Systemic Functional Grammar without its terminology. When 
I got fed up with mainstream publishers, I went with Parlay Press, and even
they wanted me to separate rhetoric from grammar.  If you're interested in
