That's correct with respect to elements--since XML deliberately avoids defining semantics for any element. But you seem to be overlooking CDATA sections, which are more-or-less verbatim environments. The XML spec doesn't directly address the question of formatting in CDATA sections, but all characters are supposed to be output literally, and AFAIK that includes white space--hence all formatting should be preserved. But I don't know if ConTeXt can handle CDATA sections.
