Hi Axel,

I have some questions about your source file:

  \startxmlsetups xml:prozess
     \mainlanguage[de]

If this is hardcoded (I mean, you don’t read it from any XML code), I
would avoid setting the \mainlanguage here.

And you already set it in lines 82-83:

  \language[de]
  \mainlanguage[de]

BTW, is there any reason to set both \language and \mainlanguage?
(\mainlanguage should be enough.)

I have a workaround for that:

  \title{\xmltext{#1}{/pnr} \xmltext{#1}{/pname}}

And in your preamble:

  \setupheadertexts[title][\date]
  \setuphead[title]
    [placehead=empty,
     before=,
     after=,
     page=,]

I would avoid using:

  \startxmlsetups xml:docname
    \xmlflush{#1}
  \stopxmlsetups

instead of "\xmltext{#1}{/docname}" in the proper places.

You need to add to get proper content:

  \startxmlsetups xml:docan
    \xmlflush{#1}
  \stopxmlsetups

I would replace docname with docan in both places (xmlsetsetup and its
proper \starxmlsetups).

BTW, what should be child notes to #1? An special lpath or what?

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
