I want to export my BPMN diagrams from Visio 2010 Premium to BPMN 2.0 XML format, which is not default supported by Microsoft, this is their answer:

So, I went searching for some third party plugins, what I found uptil now is only this:

It looks great, but alas, it does not generate proper XML diagrams that are accepted by an XML validator like this:

Does anyone know a method or plugin that does work?

For anyone wondering how to do this, I found a commercial plugin which works very good from ITP Commerece, but alas (very) pricy for just needing to import and export BPMN:
