If I have various setups like: \startxmlsetups xam:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{..{xam:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xam:setups} \startxmlsetups xbm:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{..{xbm:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xbm:setups} Is it then possible to have \xmlall{#1}{lpath} with a path such that on the top level restrictions apply to some of the xam:setups but to none of the xbm:setups?
