I see. No hope here. But I found some sort of solution which I communicate here. It is bit of a kludge but does more or less what I had in mind. The following macros do the work in my xml=>xtable module: <table frameon="t,b"> also <thead> <tr> <td> and so on. \def\setframeparts#1#2#3{% \doifinset{t}{#1}{#3[topframe=#2]}% \doifinset{b}{#1}{#3[bottomframe=#2]}% \doifinset{l}{#1}{#3[leftframe=#2]}% \doifinset{r}{#1}{#3[rightframe=#2]}% } ..#2 being \setupxtable or \setupframed, just as needed \doifnot{\xmlatt{#1}{frameon}}{\empty}% {#2[frame=off]\setframeparts{\xmlatt{#1}{frameon}}{on}{#2}}% \doifnot{\xmlatt{#1}{frameoff}}{\empty}% {#2[frame=on]\setframeparts{\xmlatt{#1}{frameoff}}{off}{#2}}% .. > >> The workings of parameter spaceinbetween on \startxtable remain a mystery to >> me.

I experimented with various values, but did not get much out of it.
