When processing XML, I normally use context —environment=whatever.tex file.xml with whatever.tex being a mix of tex and lua to setup and process the XML directly, perhaps including other XML files as needed. But when you need to extract stuff and rename files, a Makefile or shell script comes more naturally (at least for me).
