there is a wiki (contextgarden.org) that tells some bits and pieces 

in order to process xml, you need to make a setup: 

==== mydoc.tex ====== 

\usemodule[mathml]

\defineXMlenvironment 
  [document] 
  {\title{Table of contents}
   \placelist[chapter,section]}

\defineXMLargument [chapter] {\chapter}
\defineXMLargument [section] {\section}

\starttext 

\processXMLfilegrouped{whatever.xml}

\stoptext 


==== whatever.xml ===== 

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<document>

<chapter>Something</chapter>

bla bla <math><apply><sin/><ci>x</ci></apply></math>

</document>

===== command ===== 

texexec --pdf mydoc.tex


One can also make mydoc into a style (in which case the \starttext ... is omitted) and say: 

texexec --env=mydoc whatever.xml

(you can get more info on the context mailing list; there are users there working with mathml)
