Laurent, Phil--

You can always have a script merge the cells you want after you import the XML. This can be slow, but it does work.

I use XSL to transform incoming XML data I want in tables to InDesign tagged text format. Using tagged text, I can specify everything about a table--merged cells, table formatting, etc.

Let me know if you're interested in this approach--the XSL files are very large and difficult to read, and would have to be custom-written for each XML structure and transformation.

Thanks,

Ole
