[NTG-context] Question on XML processing

Hi. I'm trying to process XML files in ConTeXt and I'm struggling with
Docbook quotes and verses. I want to print attributions at the end of each
text, but I don't know how to extract text not inside a tag. MWE and output
attached:

\startbuffer[xmltest]
<blockquote>
  <attribution>
  Bertolt Brecht
  <citetitle>Questions From a Worker Who Reads</citetitle>
  </attribution>
  <simpara>
  Every page a victory.
  Who cooked the feast for the victors?

  Every 10 years a great man.
  Who paid the bill?
  </simpara>
</blockquote>
\stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:blockquote
  \startblockquote
  \xmlall{#1}{/!attribution}
  \blank
  \xmldoiftext{#1}{/attribution}{
    \xmlall{#1}{/attribution/!citetitle}{
      % Braces and parentheses just for testing
      [\xmltext{#1}{/attribution/!citetitle}] % It must be "Bertolt Brecht"
    }
    \xmldoiftext{#1}{/attribution/citetitle}{
      (\xmltext{#1}{/attribution/citetitle})
    }
  }
  \stopblockquote
\stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:mysetups
  \xmlsetsetup{#1}{blockquote}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups}

\starttext
  \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xmltest}{}
\stoptext

Best regards,
Jairo

Using a dummy setup for citetitle works. Thank you very much!
