Thanks! This also helped me find the documentation in hybrid.pdf.
Also epub-mkiv.pdf. Not sure why I didn't think of looking there.

How do I pass options so that the export is
<mycommand name=whatever>...</mycommand>
(or some variant of that). I thought that
\startelement[mycommand][name=whatever]
should work (there are some such examples in the texmf tree), but it does 
not.
epub-mkiv.pdf states that I need `\setupexport[properties=yes]`, but that doesn't work either:

```
\setupbackend[export=xml]
\setupexport [properties=my]

\setelementbackendtag[mycommand]
\setelementnature    [mycommand][mixed]

\starttext
\startsection[title={Sample document}]
   \startparagraph
     This is a paragraph
   \stopparagraph
   \startelement[mycommand][name=whatever]
     This is mycommand
   \stopelement
\stopsection
\stoptext
```

gives

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<!--

   </sectioncaption>
   <sectioncontent>
    <paragraph>This is a paragraph</paragraph>
    <mycommand>This is mycommand</mycommand>
   </sectioncontent>
  </section>
</document>
```

What am I still missing?

On a different note, I didn't realize that interfaces.implement could create macros which could be used like this:

```
\unexpanded\def\dostartexport
   {%\glet\dostartexport\relax
    \let\currentexport\empty
    \clf_setupexport
        align      {\exportparameter\c!align}%
        bodyfont   \dimexpr\exportparameter\c!bodyfont\relax
        width      \dimexpr\exportparameter\c!width\relax
        properties {\exportparameter\c!properties}%
        hyphen     {\exportparameter\c!hyphen}%
        title      {\exportparameter\c!title}%
        subtitle   {\exportparameter\c!subtitle}%
        author     {\exportparameter\c!author}%
        firstpage  {\exportparameter\c!firstpage}%
        lastpage   {\exportparameter\c!lastpage}%
        svgstyle   {\exportparameter\c!svgstyle}%
        cssfile    {\exportparameter\c!cssfile}%
        file       {\exportparameter\c!file}%
        export     {\backendparameter\c!export}%
    \relax}

```

This nicely gets around TeX's limitation of 9 arguments!
