I'm not sure I understand the "CVS or something else" part from the
original poster, but XML-style tables can very feasibly be mixed with
other ConTeXt code:

\usemodule        [contml]  % load the simple default xml vocab
\autoXMLnamespace [context] % avoid prefixing elements w/ context:
\setupcolors      [state=start] % not necessary, helps with example

\starttext
\section{Some \ConTeXt}

\startXMLdata
<table frame="off" background="color" color="white">
<tr backgroundcolor="red">   <td>some</td> <td>XML</td> </tr>
<tr backgroundcolor="green"> <td>xx</td> <td>xx</td> </tr>
</table>
\stopXMLdata

I can also have normal \TeX-like 
\inframed[frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
{markup}.

\stoptext

You can replace the \startXMLdata-\stopXMLdata block with (in this case)
\processXMLfilegrouped{table.xml} where table.xml holds a table similar
to the above.
