Hi Simon,

Your problem can be solved in the following way: [i cc to teh list since it 
may be instructive]

% output=pdftex

% This is the first pass: add an \bTD .. \eTD (or \bTH .. eTH) entry

\def\WhatAHackA#1%
   {\defineXMLenvironmentsave[#1]
      {\bTD#1\eTD\defineXMLignore[#1]}
      \donothing}

% and this the second pass: actually typeset them

\def\WhatAHackB#1%
   {\defineXMLpickup[#1]
      \bTD
      \eTD}

% here we do the two passes (one can add an additional pass
% over the <revision> element, or even better: store the
% entries, and flush them when needed skipping empty elements)

\defineXMLenvironmentsave[revhistory]
    {\bgroup}
    {\def\HackList{revnumber,date,revremark,authorinitials}
     \defineXMLenvironment[revision] \donothing \donothing
     \processcommacommand[\HackList]\WhatAHackA
     \bTABLE
     \bTR\XMLflush{revhistory}\eTR
     \defineXMLpickup[revision] \bTR \eTR
     \processcommacommand[\HackList]\WhatAHackB
     \XMLflush{revhistory}
     \eTABLE
     \egroup}

% one could of course just name the \define...'s instead of a list, but the 
list is better when there are 100  possible entries
%
% \defineXMLenvironmentsave[revnumber]....
% \defineXMLenvironmentsave[...]

btw, a not yet finished but handy option is tex namespaces, which permits 
you to define element handlers at the outer level and swicht to a namespace 
when flushing a saved element;

i also have a system for building elements in mem, but yet unfinished

% The example:

\starttext

\startXMLdata
<revhistory>
    <revision>
       <revnumber>0.06</revnumber>
       <date>2001-01-08</date>
       <authorinitials>gjf</authorinitials>
        <revremark>
          Changed date format (YYYY-MM-DD)
       </revremark>
    </revision>
</revhistory>
\stopXMLdata

\startXMLdata
<revhistory>
    <revision>
       <revnumber>0.06</revnumber>
       <date>2001-01-08</date>
        <revremark>
          Changed date format (YYYY-MM-DD)
       </revremark>
    </revision>
</revhistory>
\stopXMLdata

\stoptext
