ConTeXt uses the file extension to decide who it should handle document,
in your case the extension is xml and the file is processed as

\starttext
\xmlprocess{main}{...}{}
\stoptext

The same thing happens when you have CLD document and use cld as file 
extension.

For more details you can look at the processjob function in cont-run.lmt.
