The XML output is mainly the "plain" wikitext code of the page, rather than the rendered text version. As a result, you don't get the rendered version of the infobox, you just get the snippet of code calling it:
{{PBB|geneid=811}}
This template is surprisingly simple - it takes the "geneid" number and directs to a pre-generated specific subpage, in this case
Thanks a lot for the pointer. This pretty much solves my problem - however, if I want to use the export method via the API, I need to provide a pageid - how would I programmatically obtain the pageid for the above page?
