Thanks,. That's a good idea, but it will also make the XML invalid.

I'd like to second Denis' request for support for XML processing 
instructions to execute ConTeXt code, rather than elements which can 
cause big problems if one is working to a fixed schema. It would be a 
boon to be able to drop in <?context \whatever{fdfd}?> in an XML source.
one of the things that can already be done ...

\def\xmltexdirective#1#2{\doif{#1}{command}{#2}}

\xmlinstalldirective{tex}{xmltexdirective}

         <?context-directive tex command \inframed{xxx} ?>
         <?context-directive tex command \page ?>

(the #2 is something without spaces btu one can work around that)
