definedescription and XML

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello all,

After a good break I'm back at my XML obsession and am running into the
following issue: my environment-file contains these definitions

\defineXMLnested
  [reagentlist]
  [sample=]
  {\definedescription[definition][width=broad,distance=1em,sample={\XMLop{sample}}]}
  {}
\defineXMLnested
  [reagent]
  [label=]
  {\startdefinition{\XMLop{label}}}
  {\stopdefinition}

but in use, the definition-label-width is optimized for every single case,
rather than for the 'sample', meaning I get

One xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Twentyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

rather than 

One       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Twentyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Can anyone please enlighten me as to what I'm missing here?

Thanks, Joh

\definedescription[definition][width=broad,distance=1em,sample={\XMLpar{reagentlist}{sample}{}}

since XMLop will change with each following element 

  {\expanded{\definedescription[definition][width=broad,distance=1em,sample={\XMLop{sample}}]}}

is also an option
