Ampop Diploma - High-resolution Export with vvvv xml research

I did some research and managed it, to create a basic layout and to epxort it's structure as xml.
Then I edited the xml code and imported it back into InDesign.

Everything works pretty fine until now, but I have little doubt, that everything gets more complicated when dealing with more than two pages...

but it's a first step. Enlarge the images and have a look!
