did you try:

\setupcolors[state=start]

\definetype[typeXML][option=XML,palet=colorpretty]

test \typeXML{<what/>} test

\startXML
<what>
\stopXML

(ps i just found out that the palet is not predefined here, but the 
previous code should work ok)

Another nice one is:

%\setupXMLfile[level=2]
%\showXMLlin[here,there]
%\showXMLwrd[whow]

(ign,lin,wrd,par,txt,nop,emp)

\startbuffer
<here> <there> <whow> oeps </whow> </there> </here>
\stopbuffer

\showXMLbuffer

there is also \showXMLfile

i'll add an

\showXMLtext{<here> <there> <whow> oeps </whow> </there> </here>}
\showXMLtext{<here><there><whow>oeps</whow></there></here>}

this trickery is used in:

texexec --pdf --use=xml-01 somexmlfile [--mode=packed,wide]  : use 
pdftotext afterwards and you'll have a prettier xml file
texexec --pdf --use=xml-02 somexmlfile                       : pretty print 
(recognized xsd, rlg, xml, exa)
