divxml output and pickups v main text placement

Hi there.

Does anyone have any general, high level feedback on interpreting the placement of pickups from divxml output.

We are looking at divxml output for a 2 column page layout where a pickup with a textual annotation places at the top of the second column/main block. 

The y and x coordinates for the main block and the stream containing the pickup match up. From the divxml output, we are having a hard time determining 

that the main text follows the pickup, and not visa versa. 

We try looking down in the the <group> and <line> attributes, but there are a lot of those tags in there, and we can't rely on taking the values from line[1]/

Anyway, if anyone has general hits or ideas on determining from the divxml attributes if a pickup falls before or after main text in a column, I'd really appreciate the input.

Thanks!
