IDML is InDesign Limitless

One new feature of InDesign CS4 is its ability to import/export IDML, InDesign Markup Language. Basically Adobe tells that IDML is INX, just human readable and documented.

Having this allows developers to automate workflows and speed-up production time and thus limiting costs... Imagine, creating InDesign from XML content without going through the limited XML support of the InDesign IDE... you can even make InDesign documents from a web application that sends XML content... RSS feeds perhaps...

More of the features of IDML in this blog entry from Tim Cole of Adobe...
