Hi, I’ll bump this, because the idea sounded intriguing to me as well.

The following \xmlsetup comes into mind:
\startxmlsetups mysetups:definesetup \xmlsetsetup{#1}{\xmlatt{#1}{name}}{mysetups:examplehandler}
I assume that should have been \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{\xmlatt{#1}{name}}{mysetups:examplehandler} but with that, it does not work either. My MWE looks like this: \enabletrackers[lxml.*] \startxmlsetups mysetups:examplehandler examplehandler \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups mysetups:definesetup definesetup\par \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{\xmlatt{#1}{name}}{mysetups:examplehandler} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups mysetups:xml \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups mysetups:oursetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{+} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{xml|definesetup}{mysetups:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{mysetups:oursetups} \starttext \startbuffer[xml] <xml> <definesetup name="example"> whatever </definesetup> <example> inputted text </example> </xml> \stopbuffer \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xml}{} \stoptext
