But after searching the list, I saw a couple old messages by Hans dan der Meer which made me realise I have no idea yet how to use it. Something like this?

well, that bit of code is *not* going so save the world

(1) master tex file

\startxmlsetups xml:setups
     \xmlinclude{#1}{xi:include}{href}
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|chapter}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:setups}

\startxmlsetups xml:document
     \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:chapter
     \startchapter[title=\xmltext{#1}{title}]
         \xmlall{#1}{content}
     \stopchapter
\stopxmlsetups

\starttext

     \xmlprocessfile{main}{master.xml}{}

\stoptext

(2) master xml file (with balanced quotes)

<document>
   <xi:include href="chapter_1.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="chapter_2.xml"/>
</document>

(3) proper chapters:

<chapter>
   <title>one</title>
   <content>text</content>
</chapter>

and

<chapter>
   <title>two</title>
   <content>text</content>
</chapter>
