Answer 1

Once you've converted your XML to HTML or DocBook XML, you can use Pandoc to get it into InDesign.

Pandoc has lots of importers (for example from HTML or DocBook XML) and can now export to Adobe InCopy's ICML format. The resulting file can then be placed in InDesign like any other external dependency.

pandoc --standalone -t ICML -o output.icml input.html
