OK, then this is a bug. The declaration has to be on the first line,  
my editor (emacs in nxml mode) doesn't even let me save the file when  
I introduce a first blank line before it.

Yes, but that would mean you need an environment for every xml file  
you want to process. I have now tried
\xmlprocess{main}{\inputfilename}{}

and this seems to work.

Thanks! I experimented a bit more; I think it has to be

\startxmlsetups xml:section
\section{\xmlatt{#1}{title}}
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

(at least, this seems to work for me...)

Hmm, but this isn't valid xml?

Whereas this is valid and processed without problems by mkii?

Hmm, either mkiv xml handling is still a bit immature, or I'm not  
mature enough to use it yet :-)

Thanks a lot, Wolfgang!
