I looked at this a few years ago and Jeff (HxC) didn't have full support for XDF imaged disks. I will look into that again.
Even IF the index pulse occurred in the middle of sector (like Amiga and Commodore 8 bit disks), it doesn't matter. You read 2 revolutions and you are guaranteed to have 100% of a full track uninterrupted. You just convert the flux to MFM and then at that point parse the MFM data and decode your sectors. Very simple process.
