Be my guest ;-)

How about this?

   %% allows XML tag names to continue after colons (namespaces)
   \input verb-xml % TRICK
   \appended\gdef\XMLsetspecials{\setpretty`\:=10 }

   \starttext
   \startXML
     <ns:tag attribute="somevalue" />
   \stopXML
   \stoptext
   %%

You can use  \setpretty`\:=17 instead, if you want the colon to be
indistinguisable from the rest of the tag.

The line I've marked 'TRICK' is needed to make sure that the original
definition of \XMLsetspecials is loaded before the new addition takes
place (verbatim definitions are loaded runtime).
