one of the things that can already be done ...
\def\xmltexdirective#1#2{\doif{#1}{command}{#2}}
\xmlinstalldirective{tex}{xmltexdirective}
(the #2 is something without spaces btu one can work around that)
Aha. Useful, thanks!

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 in an XML source.
one of the things that can already be done ...
\def\xmltexdirective#1#2{\doif{#1}{command}{#2}}
\xmlinstalldirective{tex}{xmltexdirective}
(the #2 is something without spaces btu one can work around that)

You do your typesetting based on an XML doc. Now it is time for the finishing

Now, of course you can define an injector for these commands, some are

Here, I was thinking if something like this could be easier:
Wolfgang's solutions seems to provide that with different means. If I
understand correctly, you'd just map an arbitrary XML element to this setup,
and you can then do this:
\testpage[4]
Correct?
If yes, that would be a nice solution, but those elements are probably not
allowed if your document needs to be validated against a schema, yet processor
instructions will be ignored during validation.
Any ideas for alternative approaches? What do you think about a raw-tex
injector? (Another possibility would be to use Wolfgang's suggestion, and then
to use an XSLT stylesheet to remove those illegal nodes for validation
purposes...)

Denis
